Three patterns cover almost everything. You a person, in the sense of being at their disposal. A thing something else when it stands in for it, and some purpose when you name the use rather than the substitute. Waiting on guests at table takes a plain object. The root is generous: and for servants, for a service, a for obliging, and priservi for attending to something. is the neighbouring adjective when a thing is useful without actually serving anybody.
