THAT is interesting !
i would call this a "tranfert".
a transfert is for instance :
"la lune =E9clipse le soleil > l'=E9clipse solaire/lunaire".
noun "soleil" or "lune" become adjectives.
then you can "activate" into :
"l'=E9clipse est solaire/lunaire"
"the coyote goes > the going is-coyote-aire".
what do you think ?
if it doesn't work, i try something else.
let's see...

yes. so topicizing isn't it.
i try for transfert.

yes. but conversely ti-nyakplak-a or whatever ti-coyote-a is morphologically
a verb but semantically not.
