— of a cow; — from the udder; — upon its falling; — in the milk; — modification; — thereby; — just; — indeed; — not; — and; — 'milk'; — thus; — this; — designation; — there is; — at that very instant
When milk falls from a cow's udder there is a modification just by that (falling); yet at that very instant the designation 'milk' (as a settled product) does not yet apply.
