"Your friend here would simply lose his head if you left."

"If I did not, then my old friend here has lost his touch."

Question: "If your friend lost his eyes, would you read to him?"

But many friends had long since lost contact with him.

I feel responsible for the fact that my best friend almost lost her life last night.

The friend lost his balance and fell on her arm.

But the friends lost track of him earlier in the night.

My friend here just lost his temper for a moment.

And another old friend loses his way in the dark.

She says a friend lost her husband and son on Sept. 11.
