[Lingtyp] orientation

[Christian Lehmann]

Thanks to all of you who bothered to suggest a good term. I think I will 
opt for 'directed motion' and 'directional verb'. I can see that people 
who have recently worked on the topic recommend 'path verb' as the 
currently fashionable term. In my framework, this would lead to another 
terminological clash because I distinguish the following dynamic local 
relations:

allative: goal
ablative: source
perlative: path.

Directional verbs do not imply a perlative relation. Most of them only 
designate a direction on a particular vector and are open for an 
allative or ablative relation to a reference point,
