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 wasn't translating it. If you *SIch* something, you reach for it /and /get it. I didn't say *SIch* means /reach for;/ I said the thing you reach for is the object of *SIch.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
