Add /tumun or /Nvul to a root when it shows the purpose of another verb.

The /tumun-enders are /avyaya, by kRnmejantaH —

etAn na hantum icchAmi एतान्न हन्तुमिच्छामि "I don't want to kill these"

kRSNan draSTuM yAti कृष्णं द्रष्टुं याति "he / she goes to see Krishna"

The /Nvul-enders, however, are fakeverbs and show the doer, by NvultRcau and kartarikRt —

kRSNan darzako yAti कृष्णं दर्शको याति "he goes to see Krishna"
kRSNan darzakA yAti कृष्णं दर्शका याति "she goes to see Krishna"
