I didn't know that !

So, if I correctly understand your point, if I write {bortaSmo'
chIwbogh tIghvam} this would mean "because of the revenge this custom
epitomizes", right ?

Meaning that the job which is done by the {'e'} in the phrase
{bortaS'e' chIwbogh tIghvam}, the {-mo'} is able to do as well in the
phrase {bortaSmo' chIwbogh tIghvam}. Am I right at this conclusion ?
