 comment Why does 'geben' break the TeKaMoLo rule?
Yes! The "more relevant, the later" rule seems to be the crux of the whole verbal idea thing. Examples following this rule but breaking the TeKaMoLo-"rule" would provide great answers to this question.

 comment Was ist der Unterschied zwischen “liegen” und “lügen”
This could easily be checked by looking the words up in a dictionary: liegen, lügen.

Ja, aber der Satz auf Englisch unterscheidet die zwei Bedeutungen nicht.

 comment Verbal idea: a call for examples
Should I make a more specific request to stimulate answers? Like 'give examples that don't fit into such and such a form'?

You could also write "Ich gehe montags und donnerstags um halb elf zur Uni". In general, when there's more than one temporal element, you go from the most general to the more specific. Note that 'montags' and 'donnerstags' are not capitalised since they are adverbs here.
