What I don't understand is that you're saying to xod that his version
differs from CLL, yet apparently also that the two versions mean the
same thing, analogously to:
dunda lo cukta la djan
dunda fi la djan fe lo cukta
If there is a truthconditional difference between xod's reading and
the CLL reading, what is it?
