{pong}  "name, call" (v)

Today we name you a true friend of Maltz. (FMC)


{per}  "label" (v)

st.k 2/99:  Though the verb {per} "label" is usually used in the sense of "attach or assign a name to", it can also be used for such notions as "ascertain, specify, pin down". This is not considered slang or idiomatic.

Ascertain the hour! Specify the hour! (i.e. "What time is it?") 
["This is literally "Label the hour!" (st.k 2/1999)]
