Has {HuS} "hang" been used in canon?
I don't believe it has. I've been watching.
Is it intransitive ("the sword is hanging on the wall"), transitive
("the warrior hangs his sword on the wall"), or both?
I would prefer the "be suspended" meaning. It's easy to get the other
one by adding {-moH}.
Does it mean "kill by suspending" (as in "the man was hanged"), simply
"suspend" (as in "the stockings were hung from the chimney with
care"), or either?
I wouldn't expect it to be limited to execution.
I'm wondering whether "hangman" is {nuv HuSmeH Quj}, {nuv HuSmoHmeH
Quj}, or something along those lines....
{HuS nuv} seems reasonable to me. Whatever the verb means, I think it
works.
