35.19 · Help, Care For · Serve
to serve, to render service, to help, service, help to render assistance or help by performing certain duties, often of a humble or menial nature 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.’
