Detail #191: Inverse Aspect

Have some verbs by default be 'narratively subordinated', i.e. they tend to happen during the time of other verbs when accounting for events (and express manners by which something is done, parts of a larger procedure, etc – 'setting the sail' as part of the more general 'travel by boat', etc). Have some verbs be 'narratively leading', i.e. they tend to introduce new events that might not necessarily follow on the previous event - but primarily, the verb is of interest as a salient part of the narrative, a "turning point" or the like. Finally, some verbs are just 'narratively subsequent', i.e. effects of the previous verbs.

Now, each verb is by default one (or two) of these ­ ­ ­– when the verb is used in another aspect, it takes the inverse aspect marker. This does not specify which of the two other (or one other) that the verb is – this has to be deduced from context.
