OK, some boring semantical questions to begin with: Does the 1st 'in' have approximately the same meaning as the second 'in'? 'this' nr 1 = 'this' nr 2? 'that' nr 1 = 'that' nr 2? 'this' = 'that'? 1st 'this' = 1st 'that'? 1st 'this' = 2nd 'that'? 2nd 'this' = 1st 'that'? 2nd 'this' = 2nd 'that'? Furthermore, assuming that 1st 'this' = 2nd 'this', 1st 'that' = 2nd 'that' and 'this' not equal to 'that': Was 'this' in 'that' at the same time as 'that' was in 'this'? Was 'this' a physical object? Which it was possible to touch? Was 'that' a physical object? Which it was possible to touch? | ||

OK, some boring semantical questions to begin with: OK, fine Does the 1st 'in' have approximately the same meaning as the second 'in'?Um... Kinda, Yope? 'this' nr 1 = 'this' nr 2?Yope 'that' nr 1 = 'that' nr 2? Yes 'this' = 'that'? No way 1st 'this' = 1st 'that'? Nope 1st 'this' = 2nd 'that'? no 2nd 'this' = 1st 'that'?ditto 2nd 'this' = 2nd 'that'? ditto Furthermore, assuming that 1st 'this' = 2nd 'this', 1st 'that' = 2nd 'that' and 'this' not equal to 'that': Was 'this' in 'that' at the same time as 'that' was in 'this'?yes Was 'this' a physical object? Which it was possible to touch?Which one, the first or second? The second, yes, 1st, no Was 'that' a physical object? Which it was possible to touch?Hm... No | ||

Is it a well known saying? Is it that the first and second 'this' spelled the same way, but have slightly different meaning due to context? The That's, are they both spelled the same way and have the same meaning? | ||

So there are 3 relevant things? A was in B, and yet B was in C? with A and C homonyms? Or identical words with the same origin, but used in different contexts? I'll clarify the question if needed. C is a physical, tangible object, and A and B are intangible? Are they concepts? names? Does it help to reformulate the puzzle statement this way? Or does it hide information? The first 'was in': does it describe inclusion? positioning? some kind of status? other? Same q's for the second 'was in', please. Are any of them locations such as cities, countries, continents? Is this a joke? A pun? | ||

Are A and B similar concepts? or are they different? Would you associate either of them with C normally, or just in this context? | ||

AFAIK homonyms are words that only have in common the spelling, but are completely unrelated in meaning and (I guess) origin/etymology. A canonical example seems the english word "calf", which has the meaning of young cattle and west germanic etymology, or the meaning of part of the leg, with old norse etymology. In short, the two forms of the word are completely unrelated This is opposed to, for example, table meaning four-legged surface or meaning bidimensional form of organising data in (lines and columns), as they both originate form the latin word tabula which means slate, flat stone, and they are obviously (though pretty distant) related meanings. In which category do A and C fall? | ||

So in the "B was in C" part, we have a concept that is included in a tangible object. Is it something along the lines of "love was put in this meal"? Or is it a different type of inclusion? | ||
