But...


Rule:

1) To measure.

2) To mark a page off like a measure.

3) Reign (as a monarch, e.g.).

4) To decide as a court case.

1 and 2 are clearly related.

3 and 4 seem similar.

There is some vague sense in which they are maybe all related. Perhaps something like "To apply some standard to an object or event."
