On this issue, which I'm agnostic about, it seems plausible that
whoever wrote the definitions was (na'e mabla) incompetent and that

There are examples in The Book that support these meanings. So it
is open to debate how binding the mahoste definitions should be seen
as being.
ignotum per ignotius and so back to the earlier thread on "indirect
