Cool, how'd you solve it?
Also, those aren't the only case-roles in existence, a number of verbs
have idiomatic assignments. For instance, lasta' (to prophecy) uses
circumlocative for what is being prophesied, as in "He prophesied the
end of the world", end would be in circumlocative (normally for "near"),
"he" being in absolutive (and most likely not actually stated as a word,
just by agreement)
