More on "invisible or not" verbs: Miller began a b

In "Miller began a book", can we know whether Miller began to read, write or bind a book?

No. Nor even if he was the first character mentioned in a book.

It could even be that Miller started to take bets!

It could be. What if we added "Henry" before Miller?
