I've now added xa'o (occuring too early).

za'o is not really about starting or ending, it is not a change of state
point like co'a/co'u/mo'u/di'a but about an aspectual region, like ca'o.
We have:

region 1 | expected start | region 2 |expected end | region 3

ca'o says the event occurs in region 2.
za'o says the event occurs in region 3.
xa'o says the event occurs in region 1.

To refer to the actual points of early/late start and early/late
end is a different issue. (Not too sure how to do them right now.)

Isn't that {mo'u}?

Should the keyword be something like "initiative" or something like
"start", or something like "from"? What are they for?
