One-to-Many Mappings	Generalization	Example Sentence
One example is авду(property, household, belongings, utensils, good, thing).	For the first example, it would likely be property or belongings in sentences about ownership, with property referring typically to ownership of larger, more expensive belongings, household in the sentences about the people who live there and the environment, utensils in sentences where it references a tool used to accomplish something, typically involving food, good in sentences about conceptualization of something for benefit, and thing in general sentences that are not referring to something specifically. For the second example, it is likely to translate to oppress in sentences referring to a power imbalance, such as with a government, and to translate to squeeze in sentences referring to individuals and their physical interactions.	For each translation of the word, add an example sentence (or phrase if necessary—but check with me) where the meaning is unambiguous (minimum: two sentences).
The second example is тырэ̄- (to oppress, to squeeze)	For the second example, it is likely to translate to oppress in sentences referring to a power imbalance, such as with a government, and to translate to squeeze in sentences referring to individuals and their physical interactions.	For each translation of the word, add an example sentence (or phrase if necessary—but check with me) where the meaning is unambiguous (minimum: two sentences).
First check any dictionary resources you have for words with multiple translations. Things like lacking a hand/arm or sun/day or moon/month distinction in the source language but having it in the target language are potentially good places to start. If you're translating to English and are having trouble coming up with examples for this assignment, consider words in English that are used in lexically specific ways, like in/on/at (e.g., one rides in a car but one rides on a bus) or watch/look at or say/tell. See more examples under the second bullet point above where the need for lexical selection is discussed.	Ңи-вэл кэсэгӣчивунду, са̄рича̄нинду эвки бидемэчин.	It may be that there is no obvious generalisation that can be made for a given lexical selection problem; in this case, choose a default form to select and find some other one-to-many translation that can be solved with lexical selection. You must have at least one [mostly] solvable problem.
