When the prohibition is focused on the object of the
complement, the second type of passive is made. The entire
sentence is treated as a simple sentence with serialized
verbs. The object of the complement is placed in the subject
position of the main clause and the subject is placed in a
le-phrase, which can be omitted. The higher object is
normally placed in a PP with bak 'to, by' (5.1).
