May I take next Friday off?

Transitivity: 自動詞(じどうし) (intransitive) for both senses. Sense 2 takes for the place/thing one is absent from, like (いえ)()る (leave home) — the object marks a point of separation, not something acted on. No pair verb.

Aspect:いる indicates ongoing state. (やす)んでいる = 'is resting' or 'is off (work/school).'
