This one looks questionable.  "Dye" (purrak) is being incorporated as an Instrumental into the stative verb.  I would think instrumental incorporation is more likely in transitive verbs.

This one looks kosher though and appears to be doing possessor raising.  But why do I want "purrak" to be in Absolutive, or as a stranded nominal?  Shouldn't I just mark this as an oblique NP?
