The answer

"Istinshaaq" (sniffing water into the nose) is the act of drawing water into the nose by breathing to cleanse it. "Istinthar" (expelling water from the nose) is the act of expelling water from the nose after it has entered it due to istinshaaq. A fasting person should not exaggerate in istinshaaq for fear of water entering their throat.
