Examples
.
The river flows to the sea.
.
Water was running out of the old wall.
.
Tears ran down her cheeks.
.
Time flows too quickly.
.
The wine ran onto the table.
is intransitive: the liquid is the subject and there is no object. To make something flow out of a container you want , to pour. The noun covers a current, a flow and, by extension, a trend, and enflui and elflui handle flowing in and out. The adverb flue gives you the other English sense, since speaking a language flue is speaking it fluently. Watch the accusative in the last example above: with -n means the wine ended up there, not that it was already on it.
