"dadgau" is a good example of that, "x1 makes x2 hang from x3 by x4",
but "badgau" not so good, because it means "x1 makes x2 defend x3 from
x4", so it is not at all what you would expect for English "defend".
(I just use "bandu" for "defend", but some people don't like it when I
talk of people as if they were events.)
