Teavy Pirots Won't Karulize Elatically

---------------

In 1934, Carnap wrote, in German (actually in Ina Carnap's typewriter),

Pirots karulize elatically (in German)

Later he'll introuce the 'teavy'.

I propose a meaning-postulate and have 'teavy' as _that_ type of pirot that won't karulise elatically:

From Carnap, Russell, and Grice (1975)


Pirots karulize elatically.

A is a pirot.
_________________

A karulises elatically.


Non-monotonical "caeteris paribus"


A is teavy.

_______________________

A won't karulise elatically, necessarily.


Etc.
