PROPPOSED CHANGE:

All of the above is replaced by:

> time_interval_1034      :  ZEhA_622
>                         |  ZEhA_622  time_direction_1035
>                         |  number_root_961  ROI_594
>                         |  number_root_961  ROI_594  NAI_581
>                         |  TAhE_604
>                         |  TAhE_604  NAI_581
>                         |  ZAhO_621
>                         |  ZAhO_621  NAI_581
>                         |  time_interval_1034 time_interval_1034
>                         ;


I notice that YACC permits ZAhO NAI, but (at least my version of) EBNF
does not. This is good, then ZAhO and TAhE would effectively be blended
into one.

(I can post the corresponding one for space tenses if needed.)
