| | It is important to notice the difference between ''dîtis adtís irat saíkat abūlá'' |
| | and ''datasyú irut dîtis ira saíkat abūlá'', which although both signify "the philosopher reads the book in the library", only the former implies the book was in the library aforementioned, whereas the latter implies the action of reading occurs there. |
