I think there is agreement that {ve'a } means "in the medium interval given by ", and similarly for ZEhA. To me, {va } means "at a medium distance given by ", and similarly for ZI. In all cases, the sumti is the interval or distance in question. But that meaning for VI and ZI is not agreed to by all. > (5b) What was the upshot of the discussion of a while ago about > how to specify exact extents for VI, ZI, VEHA & ZEHA? There was no upshot, I think. Jorge
