Some of the names of the aspects are changed with respect to CLL, in an attempt to get closer to a more standard terminology:
The proposed use of ba'o and pu'o as sumti tcita differs from the one given in CLL:
Likewise, we might say:
12.8) mi klama le zarci pu'o le nu mi citka
I go-to the store inchoative the event-of I eat
which indicates that before my eating begins, I go to the store, whereas
12.9) mi klama le zarci ba'o le nu mi citka
I go-to the store perfective the event-of I eat
would indicate that I go to the store after I am finished eating.
CLL also says: The interpretation of ZAhO tcita differs from that of FAhA, VA, PU, and ZI tcita, however. The event described in the sumti is viewed as a process, and the action of the main bridi occurs at the phase of the process which the ZAhO specifies, or at least some part of that phase. The action of the main bridi itself is seen as a point event, so that there is no issue about which phase of the main bridi is intended. That, however, is at odds with the usage found for co'a and co'u, which follows the usual pattern of all other tags and apply to the main selbri.
