Decode it and you never have to look it up again. El is out of; sendi is to send; is to send out. That is what a transmitter does, and it is what English says too once you notice that broad-cast was a farming word for scattering seed by the handful.
The noun is a broadcast or a programme, o the transmitter, and i is the neighbour worth knowing: - means scattering in all directions, so i is to circulate or distribute, more mailing list than radio mast. The prepositional prefixes are the cheapest vocabulary in the language: alsendi (to send to), i (to send back), (to send away), transsendi (to relay). Learn one verb, get eight.
