This was one of a set of "basic actions," in the philosophical "muscle twitch" sense, that were separated out to allow one predicate to cover a wide range of "non-basic actions" (twitches with purposes and affecting things other than the body itself) by compounding.  Whether the philosophy behind this was sound, we are stuck with several of these and they seem to work OK.  On the other hand, we left several potential members of the set unreduced and somehow manage to deal with all the cases anyhow.  (see the "action" set in the 1-place predicates in the partially organized lists).
