What is the Creole word "RAPE" exactly?

Rape (pronounced rah-pay)
to yank, to snatch, to snap at, jumping down one's throat

1.  He was so angry he yanked the baby from my arms.
     Li te si tèlman fache li rape bebe a nan bra mwen.

2.  The burglar snatched the purse from my hands.
     Vòlè a rape bous la nan men mwen.

3.  I dislocated my arm when he yanked the watch from my wrist.
     Mwen domaje bra mwen lè li te rape mont lan nan ponyèt mwen.

4.  He's been jumping down my throat since this morning.
     Depi maten l'ap rape m.

5.  Why are you snapping at me?
     Poukisa w'ap rape m konsa?
