I'm sure there are valid issues being discussed here (tho I don't
really understand them) but the particular example seems as if it
might be solved more directly...

batci  bac          bite            bite...on/at...
catra               kill            kill...by method... 
cnebo  neb     ne'o neck            neck of...; body part

  le mlatu cu catra le ratcu le nu le mlatu cu batci le ratcu le cnebo

..and now I have this terrible feeling that I have overreached my grasp...
