Did I miss anything in the discussion? I understood that {SIch}
does NOT
<br>
mean "reach for", it's "reach" in the sense of "my arm is long
enough to
<br>
touch something, so I can reach it" and not "I try to grab
something".</blockquote>
<p>I wasn't translating it. If you <b>SIch</b> something, you reach
for it <i>and </i>get it. I didn't say <b>SIch</b> means <i>reach
for;</i> I said the thing you reach for is the object of <b>SIch.</b><br>
