its
usefulness." >>
RECORD:za'o
What is gone beyond is anything that would be expected to end what in fact
continues. In processes, this is most naturally the completion of the
product, but destroying the machinery, for example, also will do. For states
and activities (I don't think achievements can go on overtime since they
don't go on at all), anything will do: presumed interruptions, length of
time, ... *The most useful task for za'o as a sumti tag is, therefore, to
indicate the obstacle overcome (or ignored) in the ongoing.*
