This clue could be a double definition.

'kiss gregory' is the first definition.
'peck' can be an answer for 'gregory' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'kiss' bit.

'say' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peck that I've seen before include "Have listless go at" , "One quarter of a bushel" , "Eat just a bit" , "Perfunctory kiss" , "quantity of dry stuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
