But parallelism don't seem to have a lot of force and we don't deal with any of these things -- even the ones we use all the time:{nu}, {du'u} and {ka} -- very well. This usage is, of course, in consistent with that given in Cowan's previous message, but that just makes the point more strongly. Back to a position paer (but most of it is already out there uncritiqued -- but on a different thread, "more true"?). |
