I might be misunderstanding, but note that in both cases above, P comes first, o comes second. It’s just a matter of how one interprets the prototype relationship (in which direction the “pointer” goes):
1. “the prototype is pointed to by the instance” versus
2. ”the prototype has an instance”
But it is possible that #1 can only be properly expressed by something grawlixy, so it might be a moot point.
