Not mentioned in the index.) This ni-like usage of ka, which of course is completely redundant with ni, is also seen right in 11.5:5.4. And ni is redundant with jei inasmuch as I don't see any real distinction in the sentence "The ``blueness of the picture'' discussed in Section 5 refers to the measurable amount of blue pigment (or other source of blueness), not to the degree of truth of the claim that blueness is present." -- Before Sept. 11 there was not the present excited talk about a strike on Iraq. There is no evidence of any connection between Iraq and that act of terrorism. Why would that event change the situation? -- Howard Zinn
