friberg is probably reading me correctly,
though for clarification
his "lexically bound to particular morphemes" should mean
that individual words have 'kind of action' as part of their own
inherent lexical meaning.
kind of action is not marked by a small set of syntactic morphemes.
on the other hand,
tense/aspect/mood are related to morphological categories
that apply to verbs in general.
