Was that original post sent to the list?  I never received it, nor was it in my spam filter.

A student has "several" books in his bag.  Another student has only two.  
The first student has [law'] and the other student has [puS].

He goes in to a library.  Even though he still has "several" books, he now has [puS] and the library
has [law'].
