muH                      execute, put to death (v)

  wa' SuvwI' muHlu'DI', tuHchoH Hoch SuvwI'pu'
   The execution of but one warrior brings shame to all. (TKW)

For custodial sentences one might say *{bIghHa’ poH} or if very long (as they tend to be in the Empire) *{bIghHa’ DIS poH} “jail term, prison sentence”.
