______________This is what I got on 21.07.97 03:41:21:_____________
-We received a new word from Marc Okrand
-(who was with us most of Saturday afternoon and evening),
-but I'll let Alan Anderson or another member of his "team"
-reveal it -- they're the ones responsible for it.
-Well, I seem to be the first one from that team
-to get back on the list, so...
-The new word is...
-
-vegh - to go through (v)
-
-subject - the thing that is doing the moving
-object - the thing which the subject is going through
-
-Examples:
-
-The bird goes through the window (an open window)
-The train goes through the tunnel
-He goes through the door (an open door)
-
-notice in these examples the subject does NOT physically touch the object
-
-This word does NOT work for:
-The bullet went through his heart
-His fist went through the wall
-
-notice that in these examples the subject physically touches the object;
-the bullet touched the heart as it went through it
-
-The bird going through an open window doesn't touch anything.
-
-Is this definition clear enough?
-
-DloraH (Doq team; not the SuD team) :P
The thing being gone through (object) must be a thing
closed from all the sides, like is a door, window, or a tunnel.
A forest will still be open, even when there are trees bend over you.
Just like a valley.
