Assumption that argument COs always appear as result COs is wrong #4

Take for instance possessive determiners as in "The king had clearly overstepped his constitutional boundaries .":

co(np,3)/co(n,4)
co(n,4)
(co(s:dcl,7)\co(np,8))/(co(s:pt,5)\co(np,6))
(co(s:dcl,2)\co(np,3))\(co(s:dcl,7)\co(np,8))
(co(s:pt,5)\co(np,6))/co(np,9)
co(np,9)/(co(n,10)/co(pp,11))
co(n,10)/co(n,12)
co(n,12)/co(pp,11)
co(s:dcl,1)\co(s:dcl,2)

co(n,10)/co(pp,11) appears as an argument but not as a result! Only one of its results appears as a result.

Possible simple fix: don't look for the argument, look for any result of the argument. Is it as simple as that?
