is transitive and pulls the accusative of direction along behind it, because thrown things go somewhere: , , . Get the -n wrong and the stone is merely in the river being thrown about, which is a different picture. Sin is to hurl oneself, is to throw away and is one of the most used for- compounds in the language, and is a single throw. The figurative uses match English closely enough: you can cast a glance and cast a shadow.
