2. Lìng 令, though primarily used for getting things done by ordering them to be done (see COMMAND) came to be used in Warring States times as a general equivalent for shǐ 使. NB: I have not so far found a neat distinction between these two common words in the group.
3. Qiǎn 遣, fā 發 all refer to causing things to happen by sending a person to bring them about. See also SEND
4. Zhì 致 refers to making others go further in doing something than they normally would.
