I disagree with a complete merger. There is something very different meant between "That man is a killer." and "That test is a killer." The second sense is purely figurate, and means "difficult thing", not "thing causing death." --EncycloPetey15:45, 6 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Can't many uses just be treated as "A person, animal, thing, or process that causes the figurative death of something" to make clear where in the definition the figurativeness might apply? DCDuring18:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
A diacritic mark used in Indic scripts to suppress an inherent vowel

No, it’s just kill + -er, something that kills. In this case, it is a vowel killer. Every Indic consonant has an inherent vowel, usually ‘a’, and the killer character is used to suppress the vowel in order to create a consonant cluster. Sometimes the killer mark kills a consonant (makes it mute). —Stephen(Talk)14:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
