Definition
a strategy for the expression of motion events in which the predication incorporates the semantic type of the figure of motion. Example: in Atsugewi w'ost'aq'ík: a 'Runny icky material [e.g. guts] is lying on the ground', the verb st'aq' 'lie [of runny, icky material]' incorporates the semantic type of the figure (the guts) as runny, icky material.
