The continuous and progressive aspects are used when a sentence is meant to express continuousness or progressiveness. *paq vISIch: *I stretch my hand to the book. [...] *SIch* seems to take the thing reached for as its object,
Did I miss anything in the discussion? I understood that {SIch} does NOT mean "reach for", it's "reach" in the sense of "my arm is long enough to touch something, so I can reach it" and not "I try to grab something".
I'd stick to the known interpretation unless more information were forthcoming.
I thought we had this new information?
*paq vISIch; tlhapmeH jan vIlo'*/I use the grabber to reach for and take the book./ That's not how I understood it.
