Datapoint Early Sranan/Motion-to and motion-from

The general preposition na appears with both source and goal complements.

Although conveying a meaning slightly different from the one at issue here, it may be noted that in addition to na, ini 'in(side)' may appear, not only with goals but also with the source complement of the verbs puru 'remove' and komoto 'come from/out of' (see Examples 206, 19).
