factivity of nu



And says I take "nu" to mean not "event" but "kind of event".  I do not.
"nu" means "event", but doesn't say whether the event actually occurs
in this world, merely that it occurs in some possible world: it is
well-formed as an event, but not necessarily existent.

Humpty Dump Dublin squeaks through his norse
                Humpty Dump Dublin hath a horrible vorse
But for all his kinks English / And his irismanx brogues
                Humpty Dump Dublin's grandada of all rogues.
