Re: Dynamic vs. Stative Verbs

   A distinction of the Dinamic/Static verbs extented to the nouns does not has
   to be perfect.

   If we have:

   Static         Dinamic

   water        Rain/river/flood

   It would be conceivable that the language could have the same word for
   river, rain and flood that should be impossible to translate into one of the
   three but only in "moving or falling water"
