This is more or less what I suggested, but your formula does not account=20
for plurals (though you did use capital letters for your variables). To=20
make it work for plurals, you need to use plural variables and replace=20
the identity relation with the among relation in your formula.

In any case, if that is what {le} means, then how does it differ from=20
{lo}, for which the same definition would also make sense?
