And contrary to RAM's recollection -- one of them is Moavi velo Moavis.

Rus Rabba (parasha 2:9[4], 7:7[1], 7:10[5]) attributed to Ploni Almoni
in Meg' Rus a lack of belief in the brand-new derashah. And besides, what
will happen to my descendents if a later Sanhedrin pasqens differently?

I think the medrash also uses the idea to explain that Rus did indeed
convert twice -- once before the derashah, and once after.

:-)BBii!
