Re: Latvian uzka:pšana

Prefixes UZ and UZH here means that someone, for example, must get
on top of the mountain, but when words are used without these
prefixes, then someone don't need to get on top of the mountain - he
only must to climb some part of the way. Lithuanian word UZHKOPTI
means TO GET ON THE TOP OF MOUNTAIN OR OF SOMETHING ELSE, but word
KOPTI only means TO CLIMB. For example, word NESHTI, means TO BRING,
but word UZHNESHTI, means TO BRING ON SOMETHING, for example
UZHNESHTI I PENKTA AUKSHTA means TO BRING SOMETHING TO FOURTH FLOOR
OF THE HOUSE.
