         DefinitionShort: to be of an advantage to someone

         Glosses: ['to be advantageous', 'to be better off', 'to be to someone’s advantage']

         Comments: In a number of languages the idea of ‘advantage’ implies some comparison, either a benefit which is greater than someone else has or a benefit which makes one’s later state better off than the previous state. For example, in the case of {S:04301105000008} one may translate ‘don’t you realize that if one man dies for the people, then you are much better off.’
