To Marry, To Marry Into
intransitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means bride and the verb vocab version is to marry, because you can't really "to bride" someone. 嫁ぐ is often used when describing how someone has or is going to marry into another family.
とつぐ
Imagine you're getting married to a valley girl. You're all like. Hey, I'm gonna marry you! And she's all like Tots (とつ), we gonna get, like, married! Imagine her saying more "tots" things (tots = short for totally in valley girl speak, at least in my imagination).
嫁ぎたての頃は、息子の嫁はかまととぶっていました。
