Interpret, as lips (4)

I believe the answer is:

read

(Other definitions for read that I've seen before include "Interpret printed matter" , "Interpreted, for example" , "Study (subject at university)" , "Comprehend written words" , "what follows 18 [OMASUM] in a 17 [RUMINANT]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
