Note the accusative in : movement towards a position takes -n, while resting there does not, so has no ending at all. That contrast is the whole of the directional accusative in one pair of phrases. The verb is , to kneel, with i for the moment of dropping down. Esperanto has no separate word for a lap, so a child sits of a parent, and the same phrase covers both meanings.
