More examples about "reach", or more examples about {SIch}? I think the
latter is perfectly clear. While Okrand's examples are brief, they were
clearly chosen to disambiguate whether actual contact is included in the
meaning of {SIch}.

The intended meaning is (b), as in {paqvetlh DaSIchlaH'a'?} — maybe the
book's on a high shelf. Or {paq vISIch 'e' vInID}, which could be
translated "I reached for the book. The (a) meaning is covered by {paw}."
