"Nonbeing is not Being"


I have just noticed an ambiguity in the following statement:
"Nonbeing is not Being."
Possibly, it means:
"Nonbeing is not 'Being.'"
"Nonbeing" and "Being" are in this case opposites. But possibly, it means:
"Nonbeing is 'not Being.'"
"Nonbeing" and "not Being" are in this case identical.

Trivial, of course, but my mind is second-rate.
