And from MKE:

<Duj ghajchugh pagh, beylI'vo' 'oH Daje' net chaw'.>
"If [the vessel is] UNOWNED you may buy it from the Bank"

<HoSHal ghajchugh pagh, beylI'vo' 'oH Daje' net chaw'.>
"If [the energy source is] UNOWNED you may buy it from the Bank"

Of course, we can see "the Bank" as a place, but a place does not sell
things.
The selling is done by the "institution" located at that place-
Things are sold *at* places, and that would probably be <beylI'vaD 'oH
Daje'>.
