Thanks!

Even with context it can be completely ambiguous. For example:
"What are the girls doing this weekend? I don't know. What about Paula? I'm not sure about her but Mary say she is going to a party."

Bokeh"What are the girls doing this weekend? I don't know. What about Paula? I'm not sure about her but Mary say she is going to a party."
The same ambiguity is inherent in other languages, I guess. In Russian for sure.
