Apparently there is debate over if this word has directionality and should be classified as either concrete or abstract. I believe this not to be the case because prefixed verbs of motion do NOT have directionality as seen in the definition of concrete verb and abstract verb. This has to do with the rules of Russian grammar for prefixed verbs of motion; seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_grammar#Prefixed_verbs_of_motion. Therefor, this word should contain no reference to those terms or be classified using either of those terms as it is not unidirectional or multidirectional.

Why are you mixing direction prefixes with concrete and abstract verb concept? прийти and приходить both have при- prefix but the former one is concrete and the latter is abstract. It's a bad start for your edits in Wiktionary if you want to stay here. Also, term's talk pages is not the best place to start discussions. Consider WT:TR. I may not be able to to take part today. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 02:38, 3 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Is there another dictionary you could point me to that would support the idea of those words being concrete and abstract? Willwsharp (talk) 19:23, 3 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I was also surprised and confused to see that this concrete / abstract was placed on this page. When verbs of motion are prefixed they no long have 3 aspectual pairs like the unique group of verbs of motion, they are reduced to only 2 aspectual pairs like the vast majority of other Russian verbs (only exception по I think) 46.252.123.0 20:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
