In case you are studying this for something important,
I just thought I'd add that your statement about
PERIKEIMAI being an ongoing and therefore incomplete
activity does not follow, nor is it a necessary
inference. Even though it is not an activity word, it
can be portrayed that way. But you will have to
conclude that one a use by use basis.
