tr. and intr. v. To dominate; to be bossy
In Farib's brother's, Wahid's, household, he domineers his family, ordering them to serve their new guest, Amir, only the best of what little they have to offer: "Despite my protests, Wahid ordered one of the boys to fetch another blanket so I'd be more comfortable on the floor, and asked Maryam to bring me some tea" (The Kite Runner 234-5).
