Dear Ron,
10. If we combine the ideas that people use fires and that fires grow, we
get the idea that people need to control the growth of fires. So we talk
about controlling a fire: controlled fire (controlled), forest fire
(uncontrolled), tend a fire (control it)

You might add to 10, sharing fire between neighbors as they come to borrow
hot coals, instruments used to carry fire to another place, carrying fire
to a farm which means something that smolders for a long time.
