But even then, bus*ome doesn't specify unambiguously that it was to
perform the action of the main verb it was used, only that the item
used on is known from context, which might or might not be the right
item, and even if it is it might be with another purpose, which isn't
marked to be known from context as far as I can tell.

Maybe this is what the non-linking argument structures are for?
