Well, looks like we've come full-circle. This whole discussion started
with a discussion of why /poH/ is inadequate. It doesn't refer to "time"
this way; it refers to a *period of* time. The past two years. From now
to lunchtime. Every day from now until I die. We don't have any
evidence that it can refer to a point in time, as would be necessary
here. Perhaps that evidence will be forthcoming; perhaps we're skinning
the wrong targ.
