Would it make sense to have instead of the operator "ju", a binary

"hV" would be equivalent to "fV ju", right?

Instead of "ju" you would need something like "lV smV hV".


An extra "lV smV" would have to be in there somewhere I think.


And instead of "ju F1 ju F2 F3", we would have "lV smV hV F1 hV F2
F3"? That's assuming that a state of affairs in which F occurs is
equivalent to a state of affairs, in which a state of affairs in which
F occurs, occurs.


I was thinking that "ju X Y", or "fV ju X Y", would be equivalent to "je fa X fa Y", and then to "hV X Y".

On reflection, tho, "ju" has a useful abbreviatiory function and uses up only one CV unit.  "hV", tho, wd use up an entire C, just to abbreviate "je fa X fa Y", so the answer to my original question is No.
