Hey all. So, I'm making some flash cards for kanji and their readings, but I'm having trouble with one in particular - 下 (specifically, the verbs)

The dictionaries I'm using don't really clearly differentiate between their usages. Here's what I've got on my card at the moment:

さ(がる)- (v5r) to step back; to hang down
さ(げる)- (v1) to lower
くだ(る)- (v5r) to get down; to descend
くだ(す)- (v5s) to make [a decision]; to pass [judgement]
くだ(さる)- (v5aru) (hon) to give; to bestow
お(ろす)- (v5s) to take down; to let off [bus, etc.]
お(りる)- (v1) to go down; to get off [bus, etc.]

Wondering if anyone could comment or come up with better definitions - though, I'd like to keep them simple at this point in my studies. Thanks in advance
