Earticle

In the languages such as Hindi/Tamil, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, and Korean, achievement of an intended goal can be cancelled even after it is apparently asserted. One type of challenge to telicity is the phenomenon of event cancellation. Adverbial phrases including resultatives and verbal morphology that marks the completion of an event serve to induce the telic interpretation. This induces the event cancellation to lead to contradiction. While keuy bears proximal interpretation, the action narrowly averted expression(ANA-expression) l ppen ha punctual and counterfactual meaning. The ANA expression l ppen-ha shows that the event was at the point of occurring but did not occur. Thus, the ANA expression l ppen-ha is not compatible with telicity. This is also the reason why it cannot appear with the verbal morphology that marks the completion of an event.
