Agreed, but my point was, that I'd probably interpret "my killer"
as someone who works for me rather than someone who kills me, in
analogy to "my sleeper", which can _only_ be someone who works for
me. (well - maybe not necessarily _works_ for me :) I'd probably
use {muHoHbogh vay'/loD} for the other.
