So fa'a only makes sense when the speaker is present in the
situation?

And what about {zo'i le tricu} and {ze'o le tricu}?

Hmmm... {ve'afa'a} if the event does not occur in an especially
small space interval.

But {ve'a} tags the interval: {le gerku cu bacru ve'a le purdi}
means that the barking occupies the whole space interval
constituted by the garden. So should we say {le gerku cu bacru
ve'a le purdi fa'a le tricu} to mean that the barking occurs
all over the garden but always towards the tree?
