> Does this help either to define nu or to separate nu from du'u?

It accords with my original understanding of these words. However,
according to my original understanding of nu I could not (and
cannot) understand they way it is used to refer to hypothetical
events that may not actually ever occur. Perhaps you could
think about, say, {lo nu} as x2 of troci or nitcu, and see if
you could explain that to me.
