Merkitys
Marking a tool shows what someone uses to carry out an action. This can be a physical object, a way of traveling, or a way of sending a message. Languages may use words, endings, or word order; some have no separate marker for this link. Tool or means identifies the role, while How the tool is marked looks at how a language shows that role.

Look for the word, ending, or position that links an action to what is used to do it.
