{Da} "behave as, act in the manner of" has been used in two other examples
in addition to SkyBox S25:
nepwI' Daba'
He is obviously lying. (TKD)

space station Deep Space Nine is the gateway for the exploration,
intrigue and enterprise that mark the continuation of the human
adventure into space... (SkyBox DSN 99)
{ghes} "assume the duties of, take on responsibilities" is explained in
detail in KGT p. 182ff. Two examples in context are given:
DaH yaS wa'DIch vIgheS.
I now take my place as first officer.
juDev 'ej Dujvam ra'wI' DagheS 'e' vItlhob.
I ask you to lead us as commander of this ship.
