Please do not misquote me. My answer was {lurgh qelba'be' mu'vetlh.}
The specific nuances of my suffix use are very important to what I
intended. Since you don't seem to be tuned in to my subtleties, I
will give an explicit translation:
"It is not obvious that that word considers a direction."
The reason we do not include {qet} in the collection of words known
to have a destination as their object is that running doesn't have
an obvious destination as a primary concern.
