B777 Pws

The AMM states :
PWS inhibits new windshear cautions during takeoff and
approach if both these conditions exist:

* Airspeed more than 80 knots
* Less than 400 feet radio altitude.

The use of the word "new" is baffling me a little every time I read this section.

Example 1 : If a PWS "MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY" alert is issued at say, 70 knots and the PIC elects to continue as per NNM, and then a new windshear EVENT occurs in a different location of the caution area at 90 knots, will a PWS " MONITOR RADAR DISPLAY " OCCURR ?

Example 2 : At 90 knots a windshear event occurs, will an PWS caution alert be issued ?

Thanks FE, but why would they use the word " NEW ", why not just say during that period all PWS Alerts are inhibited.

"NEW" meaning atmospheric events detected AFTER the inhibit conditions have been met. The previous events detected remain active.
