MINVTIÆ

Elsewhere D. M. Donovan was saying (or implying): minutiae!

My marginalia on Chapman, p. 43

Austin -- "proposes a philosophical methodology of 'going trough the dictionary': only such a rigorous analysis of the language will give a thorough and objective overview of the subject matter" Etc.

Cfr. Grice's hoot and Austin's big mistake, this blog.
