Comment:
This illustrates the occurrence of di in a complex PP, where intransitive for (from) subcategorizes for a PP introduced by di. Other intransitive prepositions which participate in this construction include bou (under), banda (near), despues (after), dilanti (in front), tras (behind), afó (outside).
