Don't you need {vei ny}? I'm afraid I don't see how putting a left parenthesis in front changes it from whatever it was before to a number. (BTW, the example of {vei} in the book, 18.5.10 (437) is a total muck-up of use-mention conventions -- or else this whole thing is more idiotically complex than even I have come to see it to be. I take it as evidence of the overall confusion in this particular area.) Ahah! 17.11.6 (423) a desperate way to avoid an ambiguity created somewhere back at the beginning of all this, I suspect (and the use-mention is really bad in this example, too -- flat wrong in fact.) |
