Greek semantic domain
Take, Obtain, Gain, Lose
The meanings in this subdomain involve a transfer of possessions but without necessarily the implication of exchange (see Subdomain source subdomain 057010).

Subdomain source subdomain 057007 also contrasts with Domain source subdomain 018 involving holding and grasping.
