Khaleti [Sanskrit kṣālayati of kṣal?] literally to wash (cf. pakkhāleti), slang for "to treat badly," "to give a rubbing" or threshing (exact meaning problematic); only at Ja IV 205 = 382: gale gahetvā khalayātha jammaṃ "take the rascal by the throat and thrash him" (commentary khalayātha khalīkāraṃ (i.e. a "rub," kind of punishment) pāpetvā niddhamatha = give him a thrashing and throw him out. v.l. at both passages is galayātha).
