Constraint rules
First person singular of vera & sjá
^Ég/Ég<prn><p1><mf><sg><nom>$ ^sé/sjá<vblex><pri><p1><sg>/vera<vbser><prs><p3><sg>/vera<vbser><prs><p1><sg>$ ^hesta/hestur<n><m><pl><acc><ind>/hestur<n><m><pl><gen><ind>$
Here we have an ambiguity between sjá<vblex><pri><p1><sg> and vera<vbser><prs><p1><sg>, aside from being able to disambiguate on the subjunctive (probably it only occurs in fixed contexts, we can also disambiguate based on the case of the following word. The verb "vera" governs the nominative, while the verb "sjá" governs the accusative.
