I think Milgrom would say that 'mot yumat' applies to judicial execution by a court following a trial, whereas "naqom yenaqem" applies to blood vengeance by a family member.  
Milgrom maintains that "karet" means that G-d will cut off the guilty party's bloodline, and possibly also that he will be denied an afterlife.
