"jump to" vs. "jump onto"

[la gleki]

He jumped to the table.

He jumped onto the table.

.i ko'a mo'u plipe fa'a lo jubme

.i ko'a mo'u plipe lo jubme

Am I right? Is it how we should understand {plipe}?

[Pierre Abbat]

No. "ko'a plipe fa'a lo jubme" means "He jumped toward the table", except that
"toward" denotes the location, not the direction, of the jump. For "He jumped
onto the table", I'd say "ko'a plipe lo cpana be lo jubme".

I'd say it {ko'a plipe co cpanybi'o lo jubme} for "jump onto"

and {koa' plipe co klama lo jubme} for "jump to"

Based on the definition of plipe, I'd say lo se plipe is what is landed on.

Correct. The reason for using "cpana" with "plipe" is that a flea, for
instance, can jump to the side of a table.
