Examples

“A PAC may contribute⟳ no more than $5,000 to a federal candidate in a general or primary election. PACs have⟳ grown to become⟳ the second-largest source of campaign funds, trailing only individuals (Herrnson 2004).”
“The new group, called Save⟳ America, is a federal fund-raising vehicle known as a leadership PAC that has donation limits of $5,000 per donor per year. […] In that sense⟳, his PAC could become⟳ a fan-subsidized machine to perpetuate his agenda and plot his next moves. […] Leadership PACs are generally seen as loosely regulated — Joseph R. Biden Jr. operated one during the 2018 midterms ahead of his own⟳ presidential run⟳ — and the committee gives Mr. Trump a place⟳ to continue⟳ to direct⟳ supporter cash.”
“This seems to me to lead⟳ to the conclusion that any hypothesis involving connections earlier than the Algic level, given our standards for proof of historical connection, is inherently unprovable until we know⟳ Proto-Algic (PAc) better.”
“[…] PAc (Proto-Algic: Proulx 1984b).”
“The reflexes of **l and **r are: PAc PA W Y l *l l(r) r(l)”
