Oh dear - the more I learn about the word "reach", the more confusing it

I'll wait for more examples till I understand this entirely.

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}.
