How to say "lash" in Japanese

• ムチ
  nounThe noun for the whip itself: the lash as a physical object, also a scourge or instrument of flogging. Usually written in kana alone rather than in kanji.
  その残酷ざんこくな男おとこは犬いぬをムチで打うった。↗

  The cruel man beat the dog with a whip.
• ＬＡＳＨラッシュ
  nounThe maritime shipping term, short for 'lighter aboard ship': a vessel that carries lighters (barges). It has nothing to do with whipping; you need it only when discussing this cargo system.
• 鞭打つむちうつ
  godan verb, transitive verbThe verb for the act itself: to whip or lash someone or something. It also covers the figurative sense 'to spur on', so it serves for both literal flogging and urging a person on.
• ラッシュ船ラッシュせん
  nounThe ship itself: a vessel of the LASH type, one that carries lighters aboard. Like ＬＡＳＨ, it belongs to maritime cargo terminology and is never the word for whipping.
• 鞭をくれるむちをくれる
  expression, ichidan verb (irregular)A verb phrase meaning to whip or lash, literally 'to give the rod'. It is a less common way to say this; for 'to lash' the plain verb 鞭打つ is usually the better choice.

Use 「ムチ」 for the whip itself, 「鞭打つ」 (or the less common 「鞭をくれる」) for the act of whipping, and ＬＡＳＨ or 「ラッシュ船」 for the shipping term 'lighter aboard ship'.
