Who is in charge here?
-- gives the person in charge of the thing the root names. gives o, gives o, gives o, gives o. The result is a noun in -o, it takes -in- for a woman, and stands alone as the ordinary word for boss or chief.
Keep it apart from -an- and --. An - runs the group, an - merely belongs to it, and an - practises the trade, so a school has one o and many . The root must be the thing led, never the activity: the head of a kitchen is a o (though a head cook is more often a ĉefkuiristo), and it is that trips everyone, being one plain root meaning window.
