When objects are marked differently depending on whether or not they are definite, or on whether or not they are animate/human, it will always be the definite and (more) animate/human object which bears the morphological marker, while the indefinite and (more) inanimate/nonhuman object will be unmarked, and never the other way round.
Standardized
IF indefinite or less animate objects are morphologically marked, THEN definite or more animate objects will also be morphologically marked, provided there is a marking alternation for objects in terms of definiteness and animacy.
