<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Thinking about that example it just ocurred to me that such a structure could actually be ambiguous. I know it doesn't make much sense, but it <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>could<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> also mean <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>The probe of the Romulan who she / he will find and kill<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> or <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>The probe of the Romulans she / he / they will find and kill<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>. In phrases with this or similar structure, context or, if necessary, rephrasing would clarify which meaning is intended, am I right?</pre>

<p>Yes, it's ambiguous, but it refers to a recognized device, so
presumably anybody who understands what it is will also understand
what you mean when you say it.<br>
