Based on your quote below from MO, {rav vIvel jIH} should mean something
like "I'm lying on the floor", "I'm covering the floor (with my body)".
I think it suffices to say {mInDu'lIj vel ghopDu'wIj}. (That is, assuming
{vel} can be used in this sense.) Or if you want to make the doer more
explicit, {mInDu'lIj velmeH ghopDu'wIj vIlo'}.

"coverer, coater, masker").
