ownershipDistinguisherobjectdisambig.t[129]

Ownership Distinguisher. This distinguisher can tell two objects apart if they have different owners. "Unowned" objects are identified by their immediate containers instead of their owners.

Note that while location *can* distinguish items with this distinguisher, ownership takes priority: if an object has an owner, the owner is the distinguishing feature. The reason location is a factor at all is that we need something parallel to ownership for the purposes of phrasing distinguishing descriptions of unowned objects. The best-sounding phrasing, at least in English, is to refer to the unowned objects by location.
