We all agree that most FAhA are locational. The point we
were discussing was whether {fa'a} and {to'o} in particular
followed that pattern as well.

In that case {fa'a le tricu} is more or less meaningless, since
everywhere in the universe (at least in the connected part) is on
a line towards the tree, and the same goes for {to'o le tricu}.

And how do you indicate the orientation of the event?
