[One might object:] "Just as in expressions like 'it is Caitra's son,' due to the use of the word 'is,' here too existence must be affirmed" - [responding to this, the author] says "For indeed..." [The mere use of words does not entail real existence], just as when someone is merely named 'donkey,' [it does not make them one].
