- मैं दो घंटों तक बैठा रहा।
I two hours until sit-PRF CONT
I kept sitting for two hours.
Duration↝EndTime? - कल तक काम कर।
tomorrow until work do-IMP
Keep doing the work until tomorrow.
EndTime↝EndTime
These seem to be a temporal use of Extent, but what function fits them?

I two hours ABL sit-PRF CONT
I have been sitting for two hours/since two hours ago.
Duration↝StartTime? Duration↝Duration? - कल से काम कर रहा है।
tomorrow ABL work do CONT be-PRS
I have been working since yesterday.
StartTime↝StartTime
From Dr. Schneider, 6/22/20
maybe better to treat the event duration as an inference, and “2 days” as metonymic for a point in time (2 days before/after now)
i think that would be StartTime~Interval and EndTime~Interval then
