放まる

yodan verb with 'ru' ending (archaic), transitive verb

to excrete (faeces, urine)

Archaic transitive verb; in modern Japanese, this meaning is expressed by 排泄する or more specific verbs. The reading まる is not productive today.

• 古こ語ごでは「放まる」と書かいて「まる」と読よみ、排はい泄せつする意いを表ひょうした。

  In classical Japanese, 放る was read as まる and meant 'to excrete'.
