There have been disputes about whether the pivot is subject and whether
12561256
Tagalog has a subject at all. Nevertheless, there does not seem to be any
12571257
better solution than to simply identify it with the subject in UD.

<span style="color:red">EDIT: Further discussion is needed. Andrews cites
1259+
others and says (below examples 124) that both _ang_ and _ng_ arguments are
1260+
core, but the actor is more subject-like regardless of whether it is pivot or
1261+
not. That would mean that we should use the `nsubj` relation for the _ang_
1262+
argument of agent-voice verbs, the _ng_ argument of patient-voice verbs,
1263+
and we would have to select one of two _ng_ arguments in other voices,
1264+
depending on which argument semantically fits the agent role.</span>

It seems appropriate to mark the determiners and the personal pronouns with
12591266
the [Case]() feature: the pivot with nominative, and the other core argument
12601267
with accusative.
