Thanks. You have managed to lay out a large number of the possibilities that have been proposed over the years and to do so in an unusually clear way. You've also managed to do this without have some interpretation drive your symbolism, making at least & happy. Of course, I don't believe a moment of it. Most of these interpretation don't do what they are meant to do on the linguistic level. And, in keeping with that, neither does MV R. As you note with startling honesty, MV R need have nothing to do with R. And yet the whole point of all this is to explain expressions which a seriously about R. To be sure, in a lila model, where everything is about the performing deity, being the deity is always relevant, but even then, when talking about rabbits, it is the deity rabbiting, not just the deity in se that is called for. So, I'll stick with my context-leaping s, until some one comes up with a case that it can't solve. And then I'll work out from it rather than jumping to cloud-cuckoo land. Sent from my iPad
