Default Re: encircle, give out and end

Dear Naamplao,

Gas
#7 The stagnant water gave off bubbles of marsh gas.
#8 The stagnant water gave out bubbles of marsh gas.(
this doesn't sound right to me)
#8 doesn't sound right to you. Does it mean if it is a sound made by people then it is correct? To my definition of 'give out' you added a sound (he gave out a yell when he discovered gold.) Could you please explain what sound it should be?

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.

Jiang
