I'm afraid that isn't all.  After all, you explicitly specify "Staff"
rather than "Voice".  Why would you do that without realizing it?  And
the only answer that makes much sense is that the whole phrase is
carefully rehearsed gobbledygook without inherent meaning to you.  We
need a Ben Yehuda...  Though there _is_ some work being done regarding
simplifying the language.
