Here's another gem..
The Arabs have a number of words to express specific ways of hitting.
To hit on the front part of the head using the ball of the hand الراحة (the palm but not the fingers) : saqa’a صقع
To hit on the nape of the neck using the ball of the hand : safa’a صفع
To hit on the face using the ball of the hand : sakka صك
To hit on the cheek using the palm الكف outstretched (the ball of the hand including the fingers) : latama لطم
To hit on the cheek using the palm in a fist : lakama لكم
To hit on the cheek using both hands : ladama لدم
To hit on the chin and jawbone : wahaza وهز
To hit on the side of the body : wakhaza وخز
To hit on the chest and stomach using the palm: wakaza وكز
To hit using the knee: zabana زبن
To hit with the leg : rakala ركل
Every hit that makes a sound : safaqun صفق
