Each verb [...] arrived at its present form by a complex historical process we will call IDIOMATIZATION. Because the process is gradual, each verb passes through several stages on its way from innovation to idiom; and because fresh verbs are being introduced into this process all the time, at any moment there are verbs at each stage.
