This paper revises the findings of Dekier (2021) concerning the syncretism and containment of indefinites in light of their semantic implausibility and empirical inadequacy, compared to the alternative semantic approach of Degano & Aloni (2025), and argues against the omnipotence of a nanosyntactic approach to coexpression phenomena. The paper also addresses the diachronic predictions of Nanosyntax and discusses the structure of lexical entries more generally
