         DefinitionShort: to give or to establish a law

         Glosses: ['to enact a law', 'to give a law']

         Comments: Though in English it is normal to speak of ‘giving a law,’ such an expression can be entirely misleading, since in some languages ‘to give a law’ can mean ‘to annul a law’ in the sense of giving back to people a rule or regulation. A more frequent expression for ‘giving a law’ may be ‘commanding a law’ or ‘ordering a law.’
