тлъкъ (tlŭkŭm

    • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 1196-1198:
      ѥще же свѧтоѥ евангелиѥ въ рѫкоу си дрьжѧще и неподобьнѣ тлъкоуѭще ѥ оулавлꙗѭтъ чловѣкꙑ на своѭ си пагоубѫ
      ješte že svętoje evangelije vŭ rǫku si drĭžęšte i nepodobĭně tlŭkujǫšte je ulavljajǫtŭ člověky na svojǫ si pagubǫ
      and again they take the Gospel in their hands, and, giving it an impious interpretation, they try to catch men this way and lead them to perdition
