Reconsidering of an amendment

[puzzling]

I am puzzling with the following:

Suppose the following has happend:

A main motion was moved and seconded

During debate an amendment was made.

Mr A voted in favour and the amendment was  adopted (many members abstained)

Later a vote was taken on the amended main motion.

Mr A votes in favour but the motion  was not adopted.

Later in the same meeting mr a moved to reconcider the amendement. 

If this reconcideration was adopted what is the result?

Have you looked at 37:30 in the 12th ed. of RONR?

[Rob Elsman]

Based on the facts provided, Mr. A appears qualified to make the motion to reconsider both the main motion and the subsidiary motion, Amend, since he voted with the prevailing side on the first motion to be reconsidered, Amend.

After the motion to reconsider the subsidiary motion, Amend, has been adopted, it is in exactly the same position it was in right before the vote on it was originally taken.

a) If the subsidiary motion, Amend, is adopted upon reconsideration, the main motion, as amended, will become the immediately pending motion.

b) On the other hand, if the subsidiary motion, Amend, is rejected upon reconsideration, the main motion, as unamended, will become the immediately pending motion.

This second paragraph is confusing because, as you say in the first paragraph, there should not be a motion to reconsider the vote on the motion to Amend, but rather a motion to reconsider the votes on both the main motion and the amendment.
