2 more Qs about Indonesian...

[Whitney Anne Postman]

Hello again! Thanks to everyone who sent me their comments and
corrections. Since pronominal agents are tricky in "Baku" Indonesian,
I thought I'd ask if the following examples with proper names are
alright:

(1) 	a. Anak itu dapat dijaga Gita sendiri
	b. Anak itu dapat Gita jaga sendiri
	'Gita can look after the child herself'

(2) 	a. Lukisan itu dibuat Mentary sendiri
	b. Lukisan itu Mentary buat sendiri
	'Mentary did the painting herself'

My second question concerns understood agents and control. In (3),
there is an understood agent, so that the adverbial purpose phrase is
OK, right?

(3) 	Pegawai itu disogok dengan sengaja.
	'The official was bribed deliberately'

If (3) is grammatical, I wonder how fluent speakers interpret the
next 2 sentences. Specifically, who is trying to avoid the draft--
the official or the understood agent? Is it ambiguous?

(4)	a. Pegawai itu disogok untuk melarikan diri dari tugas wajib militer
	b. Pegawai itu disogok untuk menghindari wajib militer
	'The official got bribed to avoid the draft'

Thanks all!
Whitney
