To help over, to enable to surmount; as, to help one over

To help to, to supply with; to furnish with; as, to help
one to soup.
To help up, to help (one) to get up; to assist in rising,
as after a fall, and the like. "A man is well holp up that

Syn: To aid; assist; succor; relieve; serve; support;
sustain; befriend.
Usage: To Help, Aid, Assist. These words all agree in
the idea of affording relief or support to a person
under difficulties. Help turns attention especially to
the source of relief. If I fall into a pit, I call for
help; and he who helps me out does it by an act of his
own. Aid turns attention to the other side, and
supposes co["o]peration on the part of him who is
relieved; as, he aided me in getting out of the pit; I
got out by the aid of a ladder which he brought.
Assist has a primary reference to relief afforded by a
person who "stands by" in order to relieve. It denotes
both help and aid. Thus, we say of a person who is
weak, I assisted him upstairs, or, he mounted the
stairs by my assistance. When help is used as a noun,
it points less distinctively and exclusively to the
source of relief, or, in other words, agrees more
closely with aid. Thus we say, I got out of a pit by
the help of my friend.
