Definition
打孔 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to drill or punch a hole'. The verb 打 and the object 孔 can be separated, allowing measure words or other modifiers to go between them — for example, 打了一个孔 ('drilled one hole'). You cannot place a measure word directly after the whole word; it must appear between the two syllables.
