fali

Fali is intransitive: things fall by themselves, and there is no object. To drop something is faligi, with the causative -ig-, and English speakers reach for fali there far too often. Where the falling ends up takes the accusative of direction - fali sur la teron, not sur la tero - because the ground is the destination, not the location during. Where it falls from takes de. The root builds enfali, disfali (to fall apart) and falo for a fall in every sense, including the political kind.
