qepHom 2015:
To use a stapler or hole punch ("perforator, hole punch" nIqDob), you qIp it or 'uy it or ngaH ("squeeze") it, depending on the device. But Maltz said that doesn't mean "squeeze" like squeezing into a tight space. That verb is qoch. (The object of this verb is the space - like a small car or a crowded elevator - being squeezed into, and this includes clothes or shoes that are too small.) For squeezing a toothpaste tube or for squeezing an orange, he said the verb is ngaH. The hole punch will ghID ("pierce, perforate") the paper (or other material).
Can ghID also mean perforate a paper with a tooth pick or similar?
Yes, of course.
