00 By the way could you help me understand exactly the meaning of the verb 01 b 00 " to short " 02 b 00 I have consulted dictionaries but cannot understand because the dictionaries do not provide examples. I would appreciate it very much if you could clarify its meanings by giving me some effective examples. 02 br
