teava

Rick,

LS 6.0 has:

> We can also create the true generic word "teava".  By default,
this will be an AP/F-d action verb with the meaning 'to try', as
in "He tried to open the door" or "He tried the door".

Since "-va" has no default semantics of its own, mightn't it be better to simply not give this verb a default structure and require that it always have a CCM and POS ending?  Then it would be "teavanja", and there would be no doubt as to its argument structure and part of speech.
