Passing

An Agent physically transfers a Theme to a Recipient. The Agent is not under control of the Theme's motion after the initial input of energy. Compare with Bringing and Sending. In the former, the Carrier is in constant control (even physical contact) with the Theme. In the latter, the Sender plans the motion of the Theme and places it in circumstances such that it travels along the specified path (or to the specified goal), but under the power of a separate individual.
