Syntactic function padV

a particle preceding and "adverbially" modifying a verb

Here, as often, it is hard to establish how direct and evident the derivation of a grammaticalised particle has to be for it to remain deverbal. The problem is systematic: grammaticalisation is a matter of degrees, and our categorisation is discreet.
