Disambiguation Rule
Our rule disambiguated between two possible verb forms: the first person plural (inclusive or exclusive) with a definite animate object vs a definite inanimate object. See tags below:
mil<v><pri><tv><aa><s_pl1_excl><o_3sg_def_nn> ↔ n'milȣnana
vs
mil<v><pri><tv><aa><s_pl1_excl><o_3sg_def_aa> ↔ n'milȣnana

Examples
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.
