does anyone know a one-word verb for cutting off or severing hands? I mean, I've come up with to dehand, but I was hoping maybe for something a little more sophisticated.
I'd be using it in a sentences like this: " StartFragment>After killing the suitors, hanging the disloyal servants, and castrating and de-handing Melanthios...."
Thank you.
