There is a scene with 木剣 in "The Last Samurai" movie where a samurai says "かたな
**_X_** ": <https://youtu.be/5MQC5uCPuGE?t=75>

I can't understand what is the **_X_** verb ?

transcription
"Put down the sword" in "The Last Samurai" movie
He says 刀を下ろせ (katana wo orose), which means "lower your sword(s)".

See [下ろす](http://jisho.org/search/%E4%B8%8B%E3%82%8D%E3%81%99).

Here, the 'su' ending changing to 'se' makes the verb imperative. In other
words, he is giving an order, eg "lower (it)!"

The 'wo' (pronounced 'o') is an object marker, it comes after the noun that is
being acted on. In this case, 'sword(s)'.

[Thanks to chocolate for pointing out that in this context 'orosu'=lower and
'otosu'=drop]
