Get, Master Verb.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

AS usual thing dictionaries are in
teresting reading and reasonably clear
and concise But it is when they come
to the simpler words that they fail most
sharply Definitions are extremely diff
ficult. of course: if you don't believe II
try to define exactly the words 'hard,
ball and man
However. dictionary men ought 10 DC
experts. They are not.
Take, for example. the verb Ito get.
which is probably the most English OF
all English words. and the most idio-
matte and subtle of all speech forms
Examine the Century. the Standard and
Webster dictionaries. If we may sup
pose you do not really know what the
word means. and want TO find out. We
can see that you will be disappointed.
= Several columns i'm the Century are de-
voted to the many meanings or get
The other two mentioned word books
also attempt to give this battling word a
myriad of shades The result is con-
fusion.
For the sake of word-lovers I will set
the matter straight. The verb ito get
has two meanings. and only two.
l. To get means Ito cause somebody
or something to obtain. and
>. ITO cause somebody or something
That's all. All of the bewilderng ex-
-amples in the dictionaries can be reduced
to one of these definitions. Yet there
are some peculiarities of this verb to be
pointed out
. Get always has two objects.
If two are not expressed. then one of
them is understood. The understood OBJ
ject is the subject. Hence. get" with
one or no expressed object. is a refiexitive
verb, that is to- say, verb whose object
is its subject.
Example: Il get John a horse means
horse. But Il get horse" means II
cause myself to obtain possession of a
horse.
Again. THE doctor can get you WELL
come well': while THE doctor can. get
WELL means 1.-The doctor can cause him.

II cause myself to become, Or be, up"
Il get him up means II cause him to
