My solution to this is to assume there to be at least 4 universes: (i) one
containing neither Bethisad nor Livagia, (ii) one containing both, (iii) one
containing only B, and (iv) one containing only L.

I normally think of Livagia in the context of (iv), but think of Brithenig
in the context of (ii).
