Popis: We analyze high-resolution (dv= 10$^{-8}$ Msun/yr) while LVCs are found in sources with low Macc, low [OI] luminosity, and large infrared spectral index (n13-31). Interestingly, the [NeII] and [OI] LVC luminosities display an opposite behaviour with n13-31: as the inner dust disk depletes (higher n13-31) the [NeII] luminosity increases while the [OI] weakens. The [NeII] and [OI] HVC profiles are generally similar with centroids and FWHMs showing the expected behaviour from shocked gas in micro-jets. In contrast, the [NeII] LVC profiles are typically more blueshifted and narrower than the [OI] profiles. The FWHM and centroid vs. disk inclination suggest that the [NeII] LVC predominantly traces unbound gas from a slow, wide-angle wind that has not lost completely the Keplerian signature from its launching region. We sketch an evolutionary scenario that could explain the combined [OI] and [NeII] results and includes screening of hard (~1keV) X-rays in inner, mostly molecular, MHD winds.
