So it would no longer be the universal solvent it once was.
Thank you, dxb...so as I said, "universal solvent" is thusly paradoxical.

Not really. It would merely suggest that a given sample of it would not remain a universal solvent indefinitely. Water doesn't stop being a solvent just because that glass over there on the table has become saturated with salt.

Ah, but there could never be a glass (or any container) of alkahest "over there on the table", so there could never be saturated alkahest.

You trying to take over my postion as Chief Picker of Nits, ephew? If so, there's at least one person ahead of you in line. Although I must say you seem to have a better idea of what is a nit than he does.
