<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Dear
Mark & all, <br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">you
are right: When the point of reference for "naaste" is in the future
("Maaandag naaste aan die eerste van die maand"), then the direction
of time from that point of reference matters. I had assumed the present moment to
be the zero point of the time axis and reference point for "naaste".
It was wrong not to make this point clear. Next time we will just exchange
Minkowski diagrams :-) </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">The
explanation of Tüdelkram is in the very best hands with Reinhard, let me only add
it was said without any harshness whatever. And Sandy, I am very much impressed
by the unambiguous, elegant and exact scotch system!!! <span style="" lang="DE">Hut ab, meine Herren! ("Hats off,
gentlemen!")<br></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Just by the way this isn't
so in Afrikaans I wonder if it can be so in Dutch? The way we use 'naaste' it <b>has</b>
to be more open. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="NL">For example, "Maaandag naaste aan die eerste van die
maand." </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">= (Monday
nearest the first of the month) for a date as prescribed through every month of
the year, like my wife's dancing classes. It may be that the Monday in question
comes two days before the first, or in another case a day later. 'Volgende' leaves
no room for doubt.</span></p>
