Abstract
Pronominal verbs governing a prepositional phrase with de that is not related to desde and pronominal verbs governing a prepositional phrase with a that is not related to hacia are semantically heterogeneous groups. Nevertheless, two properties of the operations with infinite sets explain what the semantics of all verbs belonging to these two groups has in common. The first property is that neither the division nor the multiplication of an infinite set by a natural number has effect on the infinite set. The second property is that the subsets of an infinite set are equal or smaller than the given infinite set.
