-Because Western Abenaki is a particularly synthetic and agglutinative language, especially when it comes to its verbs, it is difficult to find useful examples of this rule successfully disambiguating meaning. This is compounded by the small size of our corpora and non-standard orthography between them. Nevertheless, we still feel it is a useful disambiguation to make, as this distinction is not made so clearly in English.

 If we take the example above, this would be the difference between giving us all someone and giving us all something, which can be a very important semantic difference. The same ambiguity is seen in other tenses, such as the plural 2nd and plural 3rd.
