squeeze in one's hand

Baywatch:

nsepu pu
u pu

Both forms are valid .... the difference is whether the word for palm (/nsepu/) or hand (/u/) is used. /pu/ means to press or squeeze. However, I picture this verb as being more about the act of squeezing between two hands, not within one hand.

best I can do for now .... I am really just trying to revive this thread, as it seems to disappear every now and then and be forgotten.
