As I hope I showed, they really are that complicated and difficult to
express in everyday language. Veharaayah, RYBS, for all his pedagogic
skill, couldn't figure out how to do it either.

You reminded me, BTW, of scjm conversations where some non-O participant
on scjm objects to the use of "melakhah" in a discussion of Shabbos --
"this is an English forum". Then, a few posts later, when the placeholder
for "melakhah" shrunk down to "work", he objects because driving to shul
is less work for him than a 10 block walk. Jargon exists for a reason.

Tir'u baTov!
