almost same query came into my mind .. but for dat to be true ,
word "inheritence" seems too rigid in its definition
but now i know , this is indeed a error in Khild's book
( Mr. Oleg Stakhov ,Uni of Kyiv pointed out this , to me , my sincere thanks to him )
u can check this n other errata's in KAM-book at :
