swallowing
be.la denotes an act or object of swallowing, explicitly described as something brought out from Bel's lip.
The attested use points to swallowing as something possessed and brought out in Jeremiah 51:44; Psalm 52:6 supplies an absolute noun form, but the translation does not make its contribution identifiable.

In Jeremiah 51:44, the construct form occurs in the clause about bringing out Bel's swallowing from his lip; the APB renders the clause "bring out his swallowing from his lip." Psalm 52:6 has the absolute form, though its supplied APB rendering does not show the noun's specific contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Jeremiah 51:44, the APB explicitly includes "his swallowing" in the clause about Bel's lip. In Psalm 52:6, the supplied translation does not visibly reflect the noun, so its specific English rendering cannot be isolated.
