For when an object whose convention has been apprehended is being established as the meaning of words, it must be established as either [1] the particular, or [2] the universal, or [3] the relation with that [universal] - where "relation" means "connection" [and] "that" refers to the universal - or [4] [something] possessing the universal, or [5] the form of the cognition of the object - these are the alternatives.
