Ah, doing a little more thinking here.  'besali' wouldn't mean that.  To make the equivalent of sila, it would need po - posali.

go sali dom.  I leave the house.  dom besali go.  The house is left by me.

So if we want.   A arrived at B from C, we'd have, I think:

A sali B sila C.  expanded:  A sali B sa sila C.  


How do you mean 'bisali' here?

It was a typo for "besali", but I think
it should have been "posali" or "danho".
(Come to think of it, why not replace
"sali" with "podanho"?)
