    Glosses: ['to burn', 'burning', 'to be on fire']
    Comments: In a number of languages important distinctions are made in the use of terms for burning. For example, the burning of a substance for light, as in the case of a lamp or candle, may be indicated by a term quite different from an expression indicating the destruction or burning up of something. Similarly, the burning of wood for cooking may require still another term. The extent or size of the fire involved may also require some distinctions in terms for burning.

    DefinitionShort: to cause the process of burning to begin
    Glosses: ['to ignite', 'to kindle', 'to set ablaze', 'to start a fire', 'to light a lamp']
    Comments: As already noted in the series of terms listed in {D:14.63}, languages differ appreciably in terms employed for different phases and results of burning. For example, to set something on fire for the sake of providing warmth may be expressed by quite a different term from that which is used in speaking of the process of setting something on fire in order to destroy it.|In a number of languages one must not speak of ‘a lamp burning’ or ‘to burn a lamp,’ for this would imply burning up a lamp or destroying it. It may therefore be necessary to say ‘to cause the wick of a lamp to burn’ or ‘to light the wick of a lamp,’ and instead of saying ‘the lamp burns,’ one may say ‘the lamp gives light’ or ‘the lamp shows a flame.’
