And I thought I was being original!
Omina does this too, actually to a greater extent, especially when motion is
involved.
For instance there is no verb "walk"; instead one says 'to go/come
"walkingly" ':

mai abatan de
go / walk+adv / 1pso
"he walks / walked"

We just "go" or "come" to places, and indicate the means with a complement
of means: "en voiture": by car, "à pied": on foot, "en vélo": by bike, "en
bus": by bus, etc...
