Hi there again,

The verb: Yank, I reckon can cope with kippa [skóm].

"Kippa upp með rótum": uproot.

"kipp'ótt'ur" Hestur":Jerky Horse.
"kippKorn" : small distance.
"kippi" are tied up bundles of twigs,of fish ...
Pick up as "kippa upp" .
Six-pack: "kippa"
"Kippa upp um sig buxunum."
"Kippa í kynið"

Thanks Uoden.
"yank a sudden and severe blow".
"Kippa" as to slide is younger meaning than my age, I reckon.
