Tell
Crossbow hero's name
Tell covers a range of communicative acts.
To tell someone something is to inform them of it: Tell me what happened.
To tell someone to do something is to instruct or command them: I told you to clean your room.
Tell can also mean discern or distinguish: I can't tell the difference between them.
A tell, as a noun, is a subtle behavior that reveals something someone is trying to hide, especially in poker.
In archaeology, a tell is a mound formed by accumulated layers of ancient settlements.
