Not hit but only hiat 4 hand radical+穴 from 集韻。I think piann3 摒 is more suitable.

Maybe the benzi for above kak4 is 攫 baidu,wendu is kiok4.
sak benzi still unknown 用在動詞後﹐等於掉。

above hiat should be as explained in kangxi dict 博雅 -投也 throw but not as mentioned by Prof.Chiu which means attack.
hand radical +送=sak althouh is a correct word for push .It also means 執=拿 in 正韻。So hiat-sak means throw away what you hold.
攫 =kak in kangxi dict has a meaning of 一曰持也 =拿。So hiat- kak means throw away what your hold.
