** I am wont to say that Toaq anaphoras should only be allowed to go “back” – that is, that they must not be epiphoras. We could imagine {{t|kuq còu nháo áq}} as an interesting usage where it’s the {{t|còu}} phrase that takes subject/head position.

* Does a genitival serial construction narrow down the x₂ of the head verb or fill it, removing it in the process? That is to say, does {{t|chuq rỏehuı}} expand to ‘{{x}} eats junk food {{x}}’ or just ‘{{x}} eats junk food’?

* Do the reflexive anaphoric words {{t|áq}}, {{t|chéq}} refer to the subject of the current (sub)clause or do they always go back to the matrix clause? This is quite an important underspecification given that {{t|áq}} ''must'' be used in place of other anaphoric predicates whenever possible. [[user:uakci|uakci]] 13:51, 17 May 2022 (UTC) | |||
