The incompleteness of perceptual presentation does not entail epistemic inaccessibility; Merleau-Ponty shows that bodily engagement grants genuine, if partial, grip on transcendent things.

Bodily engagement(as Merleau-Ponty's solution to the limits of perception): The idea that we learn about things through direct physical interaction and movement—like understanding a tool by using it, not just by looking at it.
Epistemic inaccessibility(as used in epistemology (the study of knowledge)): When we cannot know or observe something, no matter how hard we try—it's beyond what we can possibly access with our knowledge or senses.
Genuine grip(describing the kind of knowledge bodily engagement provides): A real, meaningful understanding or connection to something, even if that understanding isn't complete or perfect.
Incompleteness of perceptual presentation(describing a limitation of human perception): The fact that when we perceive something (like seeing a coffee cup), we never see all of it at once—we see only the side facing us, not the back or inside.
