Alternation ‘Superessive & benefactive (+ ha + gi)’ (Coded)

A doubly valency increasing operation, that adds two undergoer slots to the verb (one for a benefactive, the other one for a location), e.g. A breaks U --> A breaks U for BEN on/over L. Since the superessive applicative does not always add an undergoer slot (see description there), this alternation may also just increase the verb's valency by one.
