         DefinitionShort: to render assistance or help by performing certain duties, often of a humble or menial nature

         Glosses: ['to serve', 'to render service', 'to help', 'service', 'help']

         Comments: In some languages it is essential in communicating the concept of ‘service’ to introduce a specific reference to ‘a servant,’ for example, ‘to help as a servant’ or ‘to assist as one who must,’ and in some contexts it may be useful to employ a phrase such as ‘to help in small things’ or ‘to do the low tasks.’|In rendering ‘your service’ in {S:06600201900026}, it may be necessary to say ‘how you help others’ or ‘how you serve others.’
