The data point for Thompson Salish (Nlhe7kepmxcín) is incorrect. Thompson freely allows oblique objects with its ‘antipassive’ construction.(marked with proclitic t=, as elsewhere in the Interior branch of the Salish family, followed by a determiner). There are numerous examples, e.g. in the recently published text collection ‘Thompson River Speech’ by Egesdahl, Thompson, & Jimmie.
