unfocused vs. anti-(anti-)middle of focused

Rick,
LS 15.3 has these examples and the following note:

>        goynto - P-s [-F] adjective
                = 'subsequent', 'following', 'next', 'succeeding'

                [The open adjective form "goyndu" has the meaning
                'subsequent to', 'after (a/the)', or 'since (a/the)'.]

>        goynte - P-s [-F] adverb
                = 'later', 'afterwards', 'after that', 'since then'
            e.g. We saw him three times since then.

>   [Note that both "goynte" and "myagoynde" are synonymous, since
    P-s is semantically equivalent to P-s [-F].  As we mentioned
    earlier, this only applies when the root is focused by default
    (all tense-aspect roots are inherently focused).  The same is
    true for "goynfa" vs. "maygoynva".]

>        gasansa - AP-s [-F] verb
                = 'to spend/pass the time'
            e.g. I gasansa studying French
                = I'm spending the time studying French.

"Goynto/goynte" still don't match "P-s [-F]", nor does "gasansa" match "AP-s [-F]".
