is about aim, not force. You something when you strike it and you it when you reach what you were aiming at, which is why the same verb covers hitting a target and catching a train. The opposite is the tidy i, to miss.
The adjective trafa is worth having: a trafa is an apt one, a remark that lands. Trafe does the same job as to the point, and trafo is the hit itself.
