Usage Notes

This verb can be used in the sense of "to give" regardless of which person (first, second or third) its arguments (the subject, the direct object or the recipient/indirect object) are in. However, it is primarily used when all three arguments are third person, i.e. when its main synonym tepagon cannot be used. If used in cases where a first or second person argument is present, it conveys a more formal tone than tepagon.
