yes :

normal predication :

1 X Y Per
which comes out as something like 'X and Y have an
existential relationship with each other', ie X and Y
exist and are one and the same

2 X Perh Y
comes out as 'X has existence in a Y fashion' and has
a 'depleted' verb to indicate that this should be an
equational sentence of type 1 but there's something
wrong with it, ie, Y doesn't = X

3 X Per Y
this simply says 'X exists Yly' and is the usual in
adjectival sentences and when the predicate is not
unique
