Noun

(rare, literary) stamping, thumping (the dull sound of stamping the foot, paw or hoof)
Synonym: dobogás
- 1872, Mór Jókai, Az arany ember (Timar’s Two Worlds), part 1, chapter 7, translated by Mrs. Hegan Kennard:
  Timár a rejtett tanya felé irányozta lépteit. A virágoskerten keresztül már látszott valami út, mely a lakhoz vezet, csakhogy azt is úgy belepte a fű, hogy a rajta járó lépése nem okozott dobajt; egész nesztelenül juthatott el a kis verandáig.
  Timar turned his steps toward the creeper-covered cottage. Through the flower-garden a path led to the house, but so covered with grass that his steps were not heard, and he could thus get as far as the little veranda quite noiselessly.
  (literally, “his step walking on it did not cause a thump”)
