{porpi} and {spisa} have the same arguments (the whole and the part) in reverse. They are also a dynamic/static counterpart to each other: something dynamically *becomes* pieces, and something statically *is* a piece. With {daspo}, an agent comes into the picture, causing something to become other than its original self (to lose its original state), but without specifying that resultant entity (whether spisa1, spofu1, or something else).daspoki'e la glekiI would be interested to see how different brivla are interrelated in terms of their thematic relations. For example:
porpi
spisa
Many brivla don't have a static/dynamic counterpart. {morsi} is static (something is dead) rather than dynamic (something dies).
I like the notation used in the monograph below:
http://rickm.net16.net/lexical_semantics.html
It may be useful in the semantic analysis of brivla:porpi P/F-dspisa F/P-sdaspo A/P-dmorsi P-smrobi'o P-d
catra A/P/F-d
viska P/F-scatlu AP/F-sBoth viska1 and catlu1 are a patient to the x2, but catlu1 is also an agent to itself, keeping itself in the state of seeing something (it's an agent-patient). (And, insofar as a "condition" place is optional for {catlu}, viska3 may be considered equally extraneous and be left out of the notation.)
According to your list, {viska} and {tirna} belong to the same "Psycho: Sensation/observation" class, as they should, but {tirna} doesn't have an AP/F-s counterpart like {viska} does. This kind of analysis can cue us to find lexical partiality and redundancy.
