Description I argued for the unified semantics of Czech dokud. Dokud is a reversed implication: its core meaning is an implication taking as its antecedent the main clause and as its consequent the embedded clause. With respect to the time traces of the events denoted by the main clause and the embedded clause, this translates as the subinterval relation between the running time of the main clause and the running time of the embedded clause.
