lapping
Tongue-drinking water noisily
Lapping describes the action of taking up liquid with the tongue, as a cat laps milk, or the sound of gentle waves striking a surface: water lapping against the hull.
In metalworking and machining, lapping is a precision finishing process that uses abrasive paste to polish surfaces to extreme smoothness and flatness.
