Wan ("this") can be an animate demonstrative pronoun or demonstrative determiner. To resolve this ambiguity, we wrote code to choose the demonstrative determiner tag when wan precedes a noun.

Níil can be a noun ("my head") or an inanimate demonstrative pronoun ("those"). To resolve this ambiguity, we wrote code to choose the inanimate demonstrative pronoun tag when followed by an inanimate plural verb.
- ^Néemunal/*Néemunal$ ^níil/níil<det><dem><nn><pl>$ ^ahpapóonal/áhpapoon<n><nn><pl>$^../..<sent>$ ("I saw them - those chairs.")
- ^Níil/Níil<n><nn><sg>$ ^nuwiinamámaaw/*nuwiinamámaaw$^../..<sent>$ ("I hurt my head" - we created this example.)

Há can be both a question marker and an emphatic marker. To resolve this ambiguity, we wrote code to choose the question marker when the sentences with a question mark.
- ^Káta/*Káta$ ^ha/há<qst>$ ^wŭlút/wŭlút<v><iv><nn><s_sg>$^?/?<sent>$^./.<sent>$ ("Is it going to be good?")
- ^Wan/Wan<prn><dem><aa><sg>$ ^ha/há<emph>$ ^meexalapóotiis/meexalapóotiis<n><aa><sg>/meexalapóotiis<n><aa><px3sg>$^../..<sent>$ ("This is a spider.")
