This example of popaia comes from a native-speaker of Rotokas in
Bougainville:

Patrick em i pilapilai long bal na em i kikim na popaia long
mak.

In the examples currently on the web site, I don't see any where what is
being missed is explicitly specified with a prepositional phrase, as in
this example.
