This one is probably a WBF mistake; there should be only one word
used. But we don't know that. Maybe in their infinite wisdom they come
up with an explanation for this usage. Rather than tweek the
translation, we should ask the WBF to change the lawbook. If that is
only possible in 2018, so be it.
