Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Barend! Also, together with David's wikipedia link above, I managed to solve another current question I had, namely, that of: "zinssamenhang", which seems to be, "unity of meaning". So we have: zinssamenhang unity of meaning, and , zijnssamenhang unity of being.

Asker: "Bij Husserl is het menselijk Ik met zijn bewustzijnsleven een binnen zichzelf besloten zijnssamenhang, waar niets binnen kan dringen en waar niets uit kan ontwijken." = "For Husserl, the conscious human “I” is a self-contained unity of being, which nothing can penetrate and out of which nothing can escape.
