ABSTRACT
This study has arisen as a result of encountering some lexicographical problems. During the preparation of some Khmer-English dictionary material, it became clear that the information provided about the usage of verbs was not always precise. The following four groups of sentences illustrate the kinds of usage about which there was a lack of clarity:
a. peir) nih peji hasy This cup isfulT. tuik peji srae The water is filling the ricefield'.
