Is the "semantic" meaning of YA$EN, 'asleep', also dynamic and durative, or is it only static and durative?

The verb "run" is dynamic (indicating change) and durative (indicating continuous action). Regardless of whether the verb is expressed as a prefix form, a suffix form, a participle, or an infinitive, it will always be dynamic and durative. These two properties of this verb represent semantic meaning and are uncancellable.
