yes but a 'term' denotes a category, i.e. a group of real instances, extensionally. E.g. the rubric 'insulin dependent diabetes mellitus' denotes the category of people with IDDM, i.e. the thousands (maybe it is millions) of insulin-dependent diabetics in the world. - thomas beale -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
