<p>> <font size="4">Another note: OP arrival verbs seem to be aspectually accomplishment verbs (that is, they entail a bounded activity, a process with a definite termination point). This is very different from English arrival verbs, which are aspectually achievement verbs (that is, they entail just the termination point, not the process that precedes it). Is it the same for other Siouan languages? <br>
<br>
> By way of explanation, in English, we would say, "After work I went home and ate," while in OP we would say "After work I arrived back there at home and ate." You only use the OP motion verb "go back there" when the motion is in progress or has just begun, and you only use the English arrival verb when you're not interested in the motion part. <br>

<font size="4">Could I get you to put that OP version into OP so I can follow your explanation a little better?</font><br>
