桌上摆有一卷书
(source: example sentence in a publicly available flashcard deck - no other context provided).
None of the 40+ dictionaries I consulted carry this lemma, and google offers precious little too.
I would have used 摆着 (or 放着) in that context; is 有 a typo for 着 or is 摆有 (and perhaps 放有) a legitimate word? If so, is it dialectal? Can you think of any other such -有 constructions, aside from normal dictionary words like 拥有, 持有, etc. ?
Thank you.
Edit:
According to 現代漢語八百詞 (p.630), 有 (which means “possess”) is a verb that can follow a monosyllabic verb to form a tightly-bound term. In linguistic terms, it is called a serial verb compound.
桌上有一卷书 (there is a book on the table)
桌上摆有一卷书 (there is a book placed on the table) - 摆 explains how the book is situated on the table -- it laid/ sits there
More example:
庭中有几棵树 (There are several trees in the courtyard)
庭中种有几棵树 (There are several trees planted in the courtyard) - 種 explains how the trees are situated in the courtyard -- they grow there
車上有四人 (There are four people in the car)
車上坐有四人 (There are four people sitting in the car)
屋中有一百袋大米 (There are a hundred bags of rice in the house)
屋中堆有一百袋大米 (There are a hundred bags of rice piled up in the house)
手中有一把七尺長刀 (Have a seven-foot-long knife in hand)
手中持有一把七尺長刀 (Have a seven-foot-long knife holding in hand)
Different verbs can work with 有 in the above sentences. e.g. 庭中横放有几棵树, 车上躺有四人, 屋中藏有一百袋大米; 手中握有一把七尺长刀
車上有四人 -> 車上**坐**有四人 and 四人在車上 -> 四人**坐**在車上 , do you think it would it be correct to regard 有 as syntactically comparable to 在, from a strictly grammatical point of view? I find it enlightening to see 有 behave like what's variously described as a co-verb or light verb, i.e. a weak/base verb that can be liberally qualified by another independent verb to become a complex predicate.
在+车上, (坐)有+四人 = 有+四人, (坐)在+车上. We probably shouldn't rush to force 在 into a different grammatical category just because it's mostly translated as a preposition in English.
摆有 is not a single word but rather a simple construct of two separate words 摆 and 有.
It be could argued that a case could be made to treat it as a single word, but this distinction doesn't really make much of a difference semantically.
Your question indicates that you already have a fairly good handle of the way the grammar works. For instance, 放有, like you mentioned also works in a similar way to 摆有.
