"So I christened my aspect [insert opening notes of "Also Sprach

"trans-" is the "trans-" of change, as in "transexual," "transform,"
"transmogrify," and "translative case." I thought this might be a good name
for an aspect that conveys a change in the class of events that happen
always, usually, or regularly.
"If anyone has any reason why this name should not be wedded to this aspect,
let her--or him-- speak now!"
'trans- reminds me a bit too much of 'through' or 'beyond', so how about
'incepto-habitual'? Cf. 'Greco-Latin', 'Finno-Ugric', 'Francophone',
'Russophone', 'labio-velar', 'palato-alveolar'.
