  • Summary:

    Clause 16.4 has two verb concepts that appear to mean the same thing: ‘occurrence1 precedes occurrence2’ and ‘occurrence1 ends before occurrence2’.

    Clause 16.6 has two verb concepts that appear to mean the same thing: ‘situation kind1 precedes situation kind2’ and ‘situation kind1 ends before situation kind2’.

    Suggest making one of each pair a synonymous form of the other.

    This is a misunderstanding. An occurrence A precedes an occurrence B if A ends before B starts. But A could start before or after B starts and end before B ends. The verb concept only compares the two ending times. The existing example reflects this, The text is clarified.
