Peruse
Peruse - 'per' (a) + 'use' (handle)
Pelt - fall, as rain eg & fell, a covering of rough hair
Obscure, but to pelt can mean to fall heavily (as in it's pelting down, during a heavy rainfall). It also means to assail vigorously with missiles to fell (cause to fall to the ground) someone.
Stick with LIK, I hadn't come across that meaning of fell.
