My old argument about this, when we were figuring out how {vIH} worked, was that we had a better mechanism for converting an intransitive interpretation with {-moH} to make it transitive than we had for converting a transitive interpretation (with {-egh} perhaps?) into an intransitive meaning, since things that move are not necessarily caused to move by themselves.
Doesn't always work. TKD told us *ghor* is /break,/ but do I break an egg, or does the egg break? Then we got *pIpyuS puS DaghornIS* in TKW, and that answered that. You got the answer for *vIH* by asking Okrand directly, and he told you it means /be in motion./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
