On p. 20 of his PPQ, vol. 67, essay (one has to refer to the volume number since his "Aristotle and the multiplicity of being" is ALSO a PPQ paper), Grice has a table that has 5 items. Thus separated:
1. 1. phi up to t.
---2. phi into t.
---3. phi out of t (from t onwards)
---4. phi from t (phi after t)
---5. phi through t.
2.-1. below the limits of phi.
---2. within the limits of phi.
---3. above the limits of phi.
3. 1. rising thourh phi at t.
---2. falling through phi at t
---3. peaking through phi at t.
---4. bottoming with phi at t.
4. 1. rising from phi to phi' within determinable D from t1 to t2.
---2. falling from phi to phi' within determinable D from t1 to t2.
5. 1. event via determinable ("e.g. velocity").
---2. a subdeterminable (e.g. "a speed of from 40 to 50 mph")
---3. a precise determinate of D.
This, inspired by von Wright, Grice finds so much 'telling' -- and I agree -- than Davidson's meagre approach.
