| It's easy to deep fat-fry if you use your hands. More difficult: doing it while YODELING.

( を ) あ＊げる | This is one of the more weird words. . . You don't use this for 'raise your hand' or 'raise a barbell over your head.' You use this for hoisting a flag, deep-frying tempura, and honestly that's about it. How's that for random? ★★☆☆☆
( が ) あ＊がる | something is hoisted ★☆☆☆☆
