TKD gives the example {chollI'} "it (the torpedo) is getting closer"

This does confirm that the thing does not itself have the intention to do what it does, a torpedoe does not "think" or "intend" to do what it does. The speaker does also not "intend" what is happening. He is neutral as describing what is going on: {chollI' peng} is to me the same as {pumlI' nagh}.
The restrictive side of the argument says that /someone/ fired the torpedo and set its goal intentionally, and it is the firer's perspective that is generating the *-lI'.* Do you disagree with this argument? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
