1. Abbreviation. 2. Elucidation

Elucidation applied
to the matter, in a

1 Unabbreviated
2. Abbreviated
2. Elucidation: applied either 1. to the matter in an unabbreviated
state, or 2. to the matter in an abbreviated

Nomenclature
Means of elucidation
applied to the matter as
Exposition
in its unabbreviated
state are locutions
1. Single worded, or
say Nomenclature: or
2. Many worded: or
say expository matter
to which belongs definitions:
as to which
see elsewhere
Means of elucidation are
1. Nomenclature: viz. apt, when writing added: 2. Substituted to unapt
2. Exposition in all its forms, definitions included. Applied
to posology, these are the same as those which applying to
language in print are alike applicable to every other branch
of art and science.

For elucidation
by nomenclature and
expository matter the
use and
belongs to posology
no otherwise than
in common with every
other branch of art-and-
science
In the case of definition nomenclature (not to speak of other modes
of exposition) the matter to which the operation is applied is
either such to which definition the operation has not as yet been applied
In the first case no mention reference will have to be made to or
mention have to be made to any other denomination.
In the other case mention will have to be made to other
denomination: and the need of it may be produced by
either of two properties of those other denominations: namely
1. want of sufficiency for all purposes 2. inappositeness
or say impropriety.

Cases presenting a demand
for nomenclature,
these
1. For the existing matter
in question existing
nomenclature none:
2. Existing nomenclature
unapt:
hence
1 Unexpressiveness
2. Misexpressiveness.
In this last case, the new denominations will have to
be proposed as substituted to the old: to those which they find
in use. The inappositeness has for its cause either
1. Inexpressiveness or that is to say uncharacteristicalness: deficiency
in respect of the property of calling up in the minds of the person in
question the idea or ideas which the locution in question is applied employed
to the purpose of calling up.
2. Misexpressiveness: or that is to say by having the effect of calling up ideas
different from those which it is employed for the purpose of
calling up ☞ For a sample of apt, and corresponding unapt denominations
