Oops!  Maybe I should have waited for more commentary
before completely conceding!

As far as I know, there are just four basic verbs of
motion available:

  MVS *re, OP dhe, 'go'
      *u,     i,   'come'
      *i, (?) hi,  'get there'
      *thi,   thi, 'get here'

(I may have this list gurbled up a bit.  The MVS for
the second and third now seem doubtful.)  So what other
options do we have, if not the 'come' form?
