These take a spear (or spear-like projectile) as the object:
{chuH} "throw (a spear) at, hurl (a spear) at"
{ghuS} "lower (spear) to horizontal to attack"
{wob} "hurl a spear by means of a {chetvI'}"

These take the thing played as the object:
{chu'} "play (a musical instrument)"
{rIl} "play (a wind instrument)"
{Quj} "play a game"

These take the thing blown into as the object:
{jo'} "blow into a container of some kind"
{SuS} "blow (into wind instrument) to produce sound"

The brackets don't seem to have anything to do with whether the verb takes
an object or not.
