    DefinitionShort: to speak of the excellence of a person, object, or event
    Glosses: ['to praise', 'praise']
    Comments: In a number of languages praise can only be expressed by direct discourse, and this requires some content which provides the basis for praise. For example, in {S:04200201300020} instead of a literal rendering of ‘praising God,’ it may be necessary to have ‘they said, God is wonderful,’ and in {S:04201600800004} it may be necessary to translate ‘the master of this dishonest manager said, You are remarkable for having done such a clever thing.’
