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.
For the actual physical activity of knocking on a door, you can
use qIp "hit (with hand, fist...)." But to include the notion of why
you're banging on the door, add in HIl "make someone's presence
known." The object of this verb is the person whose presence is
being announced (so for announcing oneself, you'd use HIl'egh).
This can be used when knocking at a door, ringing a doorbell,
making an announcement and/or playing a fanfare on a trumpet
like in a royal court, etc.
