On two different kinds of "to": in Rihana-ye, there are "be" and "de". Literally, "be" means "to higher place" and "de" but from the earliest existence of the language the distinction has usually been social, with "be" meaning "to a socially superior person" and "de" "to a socially inferior person." Where there is no social rank distinction, "de" is usually used. John Leland
