The second of these meanings derives from the first, and to exclude the former and leave no ambiguity māri nākhvũ (a compound verb meaning literally 'to kill completely') is used to express the latter.
The construction absolutive of another verb followed by marvu signifies the manner of killing expressed by the meaning of the first verb. Examples: kacḍi 'to kill by crushing`. dabi ma"
mä
to kill by pressing.
gūglāvi mā" to kill by suffocating'.
The second meaning can be illustrated by the phrases like the following in which the first constituent is the object. In the corresponding English construction the meaning is rendered instrumentally.
lagaḍvũ to apply'. 'to cause to stick' etc. can be synonymously used in several of such phrases (especially when the object is an sbstract noun). Examples:
ācko mā" 'to give a jerk'.
koni ma to strike with the elbow'.
căc
mā"
