Feeling a little mythological today, as the latter two translations might indicate.

Silvish: to be hard on [someone]
étre dur amé [cni] [ˈe.tɾə ˈdoː aˈme]
i encharenâ [cni] [ɪ̯‿ã.tɕa.ɾəˈŋɛː] (lit. to chain [someone] to it)
becâ li fiazi [de cni] [bəˈkɛː lɪ ˈfe̯aː.zɪ] (lit. to peck [someone's] liver)


Next: to knot, to tie in a knot
