Hi R.E. - I don't know if that was  meant to be an answer to me, but if it
was, I don't see how it covers it... sorry, maybe I'm being obtuse.

The form of what the OP has posted, seems to me to be:
(m&v n&u) y

This seems to reduce to:

   (m&v) ^:y (n&u y)

OK, but can't see which part of the docs clarifies that.
