> {tugh batlh Heghmo’} "soon he dies with honor"

i'm sorry to lead this discussion of track,but {-mo'} as i just
saw,translates to <<due to,because of>>.
why is then the translation <<soon he dies with honor>> and not <<soon he
dies because of honor>> ?


> {reH batlh SuvtaHjaj chaH} "they always fight with honor"

{reH} always
{batlh} honor
{Suv} to fight
{-taH} continuous
{-jaj} may
{chaH} they

why <<they always fight with honor>> and not <<may they keep fighting with
honor>> ?
