Meaning
To throw or hurl something at a target — most often a stone. To 'pelt stone' at a mango tree is to throw stones up to knock the fruit down, and to pelt at a dog or a person is to fling something at them. As a noun, a 'pelt' is such a throw or the blow it lands. The word carries the sharp, forceful sense of hurling, and 'pelt weh' is to fling something away.
