Nishitani was most likely deposed in his native language where the particular English ambiguity you point out probably wouldn't happen. Listing things and marking possession use spoken helper words rather than punctuation.

"You're a very clever man, Mr. James, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him."
"But what does this second turtle stand on?" persisted James patiently.
To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly,
"It's no use, Mr. James—it's turtles all the way down."

One thing I hate about F# and SQL is that they use <> as a "not equals" operator. In Haskell, <> is the binary operator of any Semigroup instance.

I'd recommend using ghcup to install Haskell nowadays. (https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/) It makes it easy to install and switch versions of the compiler, language server, and build tools.
