So it seems that there is an implicational scale of verb types:<br>
<br>
go/send > put > hide/bury > remain<br>
<br>
The higher a verb is on the scale, the more likely it is for a
language to use allative marking, and the lower it is, the more
likely it is that a language uses locative marking.<br>
<br>
Finnish and Estonian use allative all the way down this scale (but
they have a locative marker for 'be'), and some languages may use
allative for 'hide/bury' (maybe even German, though I find such
examples barely acceptable). Other languages have variation for
'put' (including English, but not German), and still other languages
have variation even for 'go/send' (not English).<br>
<br>
Zaika's (2016) paper is indeed very relevant – thanks for sharing
it. Someone should study this pattern for more languages.<br>

P.S. For "allative/locative", different term pairs have been used in
this discussion: "lative/essive" (Uralic/Caucasian tradition),
"directive/locative" (Zaika), "dynamic goal/static location". I
think all these mean the same (though I understand why Uralicists
prefer "lative" and don't want to rename their "allative" to
"ad-allative").<br>

think this is interesting because the PP of (1) and that

identical in most of the world's languages, then I can
suggest that placement event profiles a static location as
its endpoint and not a dynamic goal, like Rohde has argued
