Didn't we do something like this a while ago with {za'o} and its (assumed)
mirror image?  "I almost caught the train" as "I kept on not catching the
train a little bit" ore some such, though ti sounds impalusible to me now.  
What does sound plausible still is that these are tense/aspect marks rather
than adverbial ones to be solved with tanru.
