So for example, if yesterday morning it snowed out of a clear sky, but
in the afternoon it snowed while the sky was cloudy, and both of these
events are salient, what could you say about the truth value of
{ca lo prulamdei zo'u lo snime cu carvi .i je nai ca bo lo dilnu cu
gapru}?
I am understanding you as saying it would be false, while I would have
expected it to be true.
