Like the instrumental <strong>and</strong> the locatives, BPPs may also combine with intransitives (examples<br />

162, 163) <strong>and</strong> transitives (164, 165) without increasing their valence, as shown in the following<br />

examples:<br />

162. kki"katsán<br />

/k-ki#-katsán-aa/<br />

1SUB-MOUTH-hurt-IMPF<br />

‘my mouth hurts’<br />

163) kpaa"kú<br />

/k-paa-#kú-aa/<br />

1SUB-BELLY-burn-IMPF<br />

‘my belly is burning’<br />

164) kilaqáloqs<br />

/kin-laqa-loqs-li&/<br />

1OBJ-FACE-slap-PFTV<br />

‘he slapped my face’<br />

165) kilaamakatsúukw&a&<br />

/kin-la-maka-tsuuk-wa&/<br />

1OBJ-2/1-HAND-kiss- 1pl<br />

‘you kissed our h<strong>and</strong>s’<br />

Examples 164 <strong>and</strong> 165 again exemplify possessor raising or external possession, with the<br />

referent <strong>of</strong> the body part prefix acting as the direct object (the theme), <strong>and</strong> the possessor as<br />

indirect object. Additional examples <strong>of</strong> this common BPP function follow:<br />

166) k’aqc%ipá<br />

/k-aq-c"ipá/<br />

1SUB-HEAD-grab<br />

‘I grab his head’<br />
