Sure, thanks.
I added some filling word to avoid to have the '-anewer' at the begin of a
sentence
(which would look odd). I also removed the @ref{...} because we are in that
same
section already.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: relate -anewer, -cnewer, and -newer to their -newerXY
equivalents
* doc/find.texi (Comparing Timestamps): Clarify that the above options
are equivalent to the options -neweram, -newercm and -newermm.
Suggested by Reuben Thomas.

+As such, @samp{-anewer} is equivalent to @samp{-neweram},

If @var{reference} is a symbolic link and the @samp{-H} option or the @samp{-L}
