Do you mean, if they have static verbs with location lexicalized? ("to be under", "to be on top", etc.)
Yeah, I think that's what I mean. So instead of lexicalizing the body position (the "manner" in which one occupies a space), like sitting, standing, kneeling, etc., do languages that lexicalize path tend to have verbs like being in, being above, being next to, etc.? So, for example, instead of saying something like "the bottle lay in the cave", would those languages say something closer to "the bottle was in the cave lying"?
