Simplex verb
Verb meaning: GIVE [give]
Comment: Só 'give' differs from díi 'give' not only in its alignment (indirective for díi, secundative for só), but also in its semantics: só implies that the theme will remain in the possession of the recipient, whereas díi carries no such implication.
Schema: 1 > 2 > V > 3+la
