Issue from / Issue in

Hello,

My understanding is that the phrasal verb "issue from" has the meaning of "result from," as in:

"profits issuing from the sale of the stock"

Can one also say "issue in," with the meaning "result in," as in:

"the accident issued in the lost of human lives." ?

I came across this usage recently but I am not sure if it is commonly accepted.

Thank you.

SuperESL My understanding is that the phrasal verb "issue from" has the meaning of "result from," as in:"profits issuing from the sale of the stock" It's not a phrasal verb. It's just a verb ( issue ) and a preposition ( from ). 'come from' may be a better paraphrase than 'result from', but what you say here, aside from calling it a phrasal verb, is essentially correct.

Thank you so much.

The last time I saw this usage was in this partial sentence:

"sth...issue in the deaths of the ignorant and the guillible"

My feeling at the time was that the meaning "result in" would sit quite well here.

Thank you.
