Portuguese term or phrase: render
será que é regionalismo do Sul do Brasil?

Já no início da reunião a Sra X pediu licença para se ausentar por ter outros compromissos, não tendo retornado mais à reunião.

Em seguida, às 16:30, o Sr. X alegou que precisava "render" alguém em Canoas que estava cuidando de um material que supostamente seria incinerado ou algo do gênero (ele permaneceu menos de 30m na reunião).
