In a sentence

The newspaper never called him "the murderer", always "the alleged murderer", but the alienans adjective didn't help very much: the word "murderer" is all people saw.

अखबारले उसलाई कहिल्यै "हत्यारा" भनेन, सधैं "कथित हत्यारा" भन्यो, तर त्यो निषेधात्मक विशेषणले खासै काम गरेन: मानिसहरूले "हत्यारा" शब्द मात्रै देखे।

Because a "decoy duck" is not a duck, "decoy" is an alienans adjective.

किनभने "चारा हाँस" हाँस होइन, त्यसैले "चारा" एउटा निषेधात्मक विशेषण हो।
