[WWWJDIC](http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C) lists 差す
as an intransitive verb, but in all of the example sentences I've seen it
looks more like a transitive verb.

So my question is, is 差す a transitive or intransitive verb?

grammar vocabulary verbs transitivity
Can 差す be an intransitive verb?
It's both. My copy of Kōjien has entries for both the transitive and
intransitive uses of this verb.

**Intransitive**

  * 夕日が部屋に差し込む。 (ゆうひがへやにさしこむ。)
  * 潮が差す。 (しおがさす。)

**Transitive**

  * 傘を差す。 (かさをさす。)
  * 会話に水を差す。 (かいわにみずをさす。)
