F
Factory +	A factory is a functional whole composed of interdependent homogenous parts, each of which is dedicated to completing one piece of the final product produced by the factory as a whole.  +
Financial transaction +	When A and B enter into a financial transaction, and B does not pay for the received goods or services, B is in debt to / owes A.  +
Financial transaction +	Keeping track of what is owed is keeping the books.  +
Fire +	If fire_intensity is high, it will take less fire_duration for the burning_object to be consumed (burning_object_condition).  +
Fire +	The cause_of_fire causes fire to the burning_object which will eventually alter the burning_object_condition from its canonical to consumed state.  +
Fire +	Putting out a fire is carried out with a non-flammable liquid. This inference leads to fruitful linguistic metaphors in Zulu but not so much in English (Kovecses 2005:127).  +
Fluid motion +	If not contained/confined, fluids tend to move.  +
Force-Dynamic Interaction +	The outcome of the interaction will depend on several factors, including the amount of force transferred, the direction of that force, and the (resistant) 'strength' of the force_receiver.  +
Force-Dynamic Interaction +	The amount of force transferred is correlated with 'force-dynamic properties' of the force_originator, e.g. a person's strength and the amount of effort he exerts.  +
Force-application +	The amount of force applied to the acted_upon is closely correlated with the amount of effort the actor exerts.  +
Force-application +	To apply force, actor must be in contact with acted_upon  +
Forced motion +	the application of force precedes or accompanies the movement  +
Forced motion +	the force impinges on the entity that moves  +
Forced motion +	the movement would not have occurred without the application of a force  +
G
Gain possession +	At initial stage, recipient does not possess object. During ongoing stage, recipient acts so as to gain possession, e.g. intiates a hold on object. At final stage, recipient possesses object  +
Gain possession +	One precondition is that the object must be accessible to the recipient, e.g. within reach, and without intervening barrier.  +
Gap in path +	The size of the gap is related to how difficult it is to cross it (e.g. the wider and/or deeper the gap, the more difficult it is to cross it).  +
Gap in path +	A bridge across the gap provides a means to cross the gap.  +
Governing action +	The governing actions may or may not lead to outcomes that affect the process of change of the jurisdiction according to the objective.  +
Governing action +	The governor carries out governing actions intended to affect the process of change of the affected jurisdiction according to its objectives.  +
Guided motion +	The follower chooses to follow the leader (i.e. the follower's motion is self-controlled, not controlled by the leader). This choice is often based on the follower's assumption that the leader and the follower both are trying to reach the same goal location.  +
Guided motion +	The leader and the follower move along the same path.  +
Guided motion +	The leader's motion precedes that of the follower.  +
H
Harm +	Outcome of harmful process is negative for the harmed_entity.  +
Health +	When one is healthy, one is not sick  +
Heat +	the heat_level is greater than body temperature  +
Heating fluid +	If fluid_heat_level exceeds the fluid_boiling_point, the fluid will turn into a form (steam) that rapidly increases the container_pressure.  +
Heating fluid +	If container_pressure exceeds the container_pressure_limit of the container, the container will could blow its container_top and vent fluid. This could be dangerous to people around the container.  +
I
Ingestion +	Ingestion_process: At initial stage, the ingestibles are outside of the ingestor's body. During ongoing stage, ingestibles move into ingestor's body (with motion often, but not always caused by the ingestor). At final stage, the ingestible is within some part of the ingestor's digestive system (e.g. its mouth)  +
Insanity +	The cause_of_insanity causes the insane_person's agitation_level to increase. If the agitation_level increases beyond the insane_person's agitation_limit, they will exhibit insane_behavior.  +
L
Lose possession +	At initial stage, donor possesses object. At start transition, donor loses possession, e.g. releases hold on object. At final stage, donor does not possess object  +
M
Machine +	The ability of the machine to function (operating_x-schema execution) depends on the state of its physical structure (functional_status). If a machine is broken, it will not function. If it is 'well-oiled' it will perform more efficiently than if it is 'rusty'.  +
Moral order +	People are naturally more powerful than animals and plants and natural objects.  +
Moral order +	Adults are naturally more powerful than children.  +
Moral order +	God is naturally more powerful than people.  +
Moral order +	Men are naturally more powerful than women.  +
Motion along a path +	The mover's mass affects the speed of motion and/or the amount of energy needed for mover to move. For instance, if mass is increased (e.g. if 'burdens' are added), more energy is required.  +
Motion along a path +	The direction of the mover's motion determines which locations the mover will move to (including the Goal location).  +
Motion along a path +	A single mover can only move along one path at a time. Therefore, motion along a given path means the mover is not following other alternative paths.  +
Motion along a path +	Alignment of motion x-schema stages and Source_Path-Goal locations: 1) when motion begins, mover is at Source location  +
Motion to a bounded region +	At beginning of motion, mover is not within bounded region  +
Motion-affecting external factors +	The motion impediment negatively affects the mover's motion (e.g. slows or stops motion and/or increases energy needed for mover to move).  +
Motion-affecting external factors +	Removing a motion impediment removes the negative effect on mover's motion.  +
Motion-affecting external factors +	The presence of an impediment may prevent mover from reaching goal.  +
Motion-affecting external factors +	Causing a motion impediment to be present (indirectly) causes a negative effect on mover's motion.  +
N
Nuclear family +	Parents have (some degree of) control over children's actions  +
Nuclear family +	Parents are responsible for taking care of children (feeding, housing, protecting from harm, etc.)  +
O
Organization +	The structure of an organization persists even though actual members change over the course of time.  +
P
Physical connection +	In order to move independently, the connection between the items must be eliminated (e.g. removed, broken or dissolved)  +
Physical connection +	When items are connected, they share a "common fate" with respect to location. If one item is a fixed object, then the attached item will not move. If both items are moveable objects, either both move or both are stationary, and if they move, they move to the same place.  +
