There are complexes considered 'purely analytical' sequences and no 'true'
conjuncts by Verma (1993:201) as they only differ from the ones already discussed in

such a way that a postpositional phrase is not included in their valence pattern. As
Masica (1993:157) has pointed out, it is not a very convincing argument to treat them

as different phenomena on the basis that they are logically intransitive, i.e. not having
a 'logical object beside the direct object-coded 'formal' host; but they are 'logically
intransitive' actually in the trivial sense of translation equivalence. In Bhojpuri, काम

कर kɑm kʌr 'work', पूजा कर pujɑ kʌr 'worship', पेसाब कर pesɑb kʌr 'urinate' as shown
in (34a-d).
