Unknown verb
Verb meaning: FRIGHTEN [frighten]
Comment: The meaning FRIGHTEN presents the equipollent alternation, which allows it to display both the inchoative and causative version of the event. The former means BE AFRAID while the latter means FRIGHTEN. This distinction is recovered on the glosses by adding V.INTR or V.TR to the verb. However, the translation tries to use a uniformed meaning.
