Huh. I just noticed Hawaiʻian "lilo" has a similar range of meanings:
to pass into the possession of another, to change from one state to another, to be lost, to perish, to turn, to be busy, to be devoted, to be distant, completely
Listening to Hadestown today, and thinking about Orpheus's name. Phonetically, it's almost certainly from the PIE root *h₃erbʰ-. But semantically, it's hard to say why:
1. the root has a lot of loosely joined meanings
2. don't know which one is primary
3. nearly all of them apply to Orpheus!
