If [the sphoṭa-parts have] meaningfulness, then multiple assumptions become pointless; for a sentence is said to be a word-form conveying a complete meaning, and if each part were meaningful, then there would be as many sentences as those [parts], thus no single entity composed of multiple parts is established.
