Woodcutter is a deverbal compound, so 'cutter' can have an object of wood. The reasoning agains the argument that it is a cutter of wood, as in C5, is that this would profile a cutter made from wood, like a wooden body. Instead the compound consists of a 3 because of the deverbal word cutter.

German Stemmatics

Here, there was discussion about the predicating verb getting the object versus the main stem. The argument for transfering the object to the predicate branch was that usually branches coming directly from the node can be put next to the verb to make sense becuase they are operating directly on the verb. Using this reasoining, we can say that the subject let in the robbers, he did not "has'ed" the robers. Thus, the object (robbers) falls under the predicate when there is a verbal compound and a nontransitive verb.

The 'mich' is not a dative, like to me, but is rather the object calling because it's transitive. Following the same structure as the preceding example, this predicating verb takes the object.
