Ok, I should have asked whether every activity has a
terzukte. I suppose not, since there are non-volitional
activities, so we need a word for "activity" other than
{selzukte}.

We do have krinu and mukti, but terzukte seems to include both
"purpose" and "goal".

I don't know, it is certainly not the ciska part that is fun.
And in "I write for a living", it would not usually be the nu
ciska for which one would be paid. finti a given work would
be a process, but finti for a living would be an activity,
I think.
