I'll drop it too, now, Carl. However, no, I am not saying that TO hUPER hUMWN
EKCUNNOMENON is attributive of TW hAIMATI MOU. If it was then, yes I agree it
should be TWi hUPER hUMWN EKCUNNOMENWi. I am saying it is a predicate, and
therefore TO hUPER hUMWN EKCUNNOMENON is perfectly legitimate.
Enough said, I guess. The voyage is over.
