The meanings of the basic motion verbs in Khroskyabs originally were not {\textquoteleft}to come{\textquoteright} or {\textquoteleft}to go{\textquoteright}; instead, these verbs denoted Goal-oriented motion and Source-oriented motion. The choice of the deictic center is the key to the semantic change toward {\textquoteleft}to come{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}to go{\textquoteright} in the modern language}}, contents = {1.
