[194] The formulae ‟perhaps” and ‟perhaps not,” and ‟possibly” and ‟possibly not,” and ‟maybe” and ‟maybe not,” we adopt in place of ‟perhaps it is and perhaps it is not,” and ‟possibly it is and possibly it is not,” and ‟maybe it is and maybe it is not,” so that for the sake of conciseness we adopt the phrase ‟possibly not” instead of ‟possibly it is not,” and ‟maybe not” instead of ‟maybe it is not,” and ‟perhaps not” instead of ‟perhaps it is not.”
