  to press, pound  LJLA.  TgJob30:17 : בליליא משכי משתלח מעלואי ודמעסן יתי לא דמכין‏  at night my skin is stripped from me and those who pound me do not sleep. to grind (one's teeth) as a sign of animosity  LJLA.  TgPs37:12 : ומעסי עלוי ככוי‏ .  TgLam2:16 : כל בעלי דבבך שרקו בספותהון עסיאו שניהון‏ .

In some LJLA texts one finds this root where BH has the Hebrew cognate whose sense is "to make", but if that sense is the writers/scribes' intentions rather than "to press" remains unclear.
