text: We live and are conscious against a background of the pregiven.
ref: 2006, Kevin Hermberg, Husserl's Phenomenology: Knowledge, Objectivity and Others, page 75:

ref: 1995, Anthony J. Steinbock, Home and Beyond: Generative Phenomenology After Husserl, page 83:
text: It is important to realize that pregivenness or prefixing is a kind of anteriority that does its work in the present; subjects and meanings in part emerge in enuciative co-constitutive moments.
ref: 2002, Thomas R. West, Signs of Struggle, page 23:
text: Rather, the genuinely historical lies in the appearing of the phenomenalizing cogitatio, an appearing that does not refer back to pregivennesses; that is, the genuinely historical lies in the manifestation of noetic-noematic consciousness.
ref: 2012, W. Mckenna, R.M. Harlan, L.E. Winters, Apriori and World, page 101:
text: Sometimes the attempt was made to reduce the inner to the outer world (Condillac, Mach, Avenarius, materialism); sometimes the outer to the inner world (Descartes, Berkeley, Fichte); sometimes the sphere of the absolute to the others (e.g., by trying to infer causally the essence and existence of something divine in general); sometimes the vital world to the pregivenness of the dead corporeal world (as in the empathy theory of life, espoused, among others, by Descartes and Theodor Lipps); sometimes the assumption of a co-world to a pregivenness of the own inner world of the assuming subject combined with that of an outer corporeal world (theories of analogy to and empathy with the consciousness of others); sometimes the general differentiation of subject and object to pregivenness of the co- or 'fellow-man', to whom an environmental element—as, for instance, 'this tree' — is supposed to be introjected, followed by subsequent introjection by the observer to himself (Avenarius); sometimes one's own body to a merely associative coordination of the self-perception of the own self and organ sensations with the own body as perceived from outside.

Senses: examples: text: Likewise, cranberry words like the underlined words in hediye jawa ‘to be bored to death’ and keMce jawa ‘to go wrong (said of plans)’ were cited by P. Dasgupta (1980: 99–101) as evidence for a base-generated V V analysis of the compound verb construction.

text: The bound morphs cran-, mul- and huckle- occur only in these forms in the entire language. […] The knotty issues raised by cranberry words are of wider relevance. There are many other situations where the zeal with which the linguist identifies morphemes has to be tempered.

text: However, such problem cases also appear in morphology, in so-called cranberry''' words, where the morphemic status of cran- is far from settled.

raw_tags: of a liquid such as fuel or oil
examples: text: Further, the apparent difficulties with the left engine could be explained by unporting of whatever fuel remained in the left tank. Conditions would have been conducive to unporting if, for example, the airplane was in a left bank and in a nose-right sideslip following the loss of the right engine, which is consistent with flying straight while attempting to turn to the left, as indicated by the pilot statement "we're trying" when the controller queried if the airplane was in a left turn. Assuming some usable fuel was in the left tank, it is probable that the flight crew's maneuvering after the right engine stoppage may have intermittently unported it, causing the sequential stoppage and restarting of the left engine. The Safety Board notes that the loss of the right engine occurred while the airplane was in relatively level flight and that the left engine stoppage occurred during attempts to maneuver back to the ILS course after the stoppage of the right engine. Further, the final loss of control may have been precipitated by momentary stopping or starting of the left engine when the airplane was at a reduced airspeed. Impact witness marks and airplane damage were consistent with a loss of control at low altitude.
