Adjunct is _peculiar_.
Such a word (or phrase) is called a '=Name='; and, if there be an
existing Thing which it represents, it is said to be a Name of that
Thing.
[For example, the words "Thing," "Treasure," "Town," and the
phrases "valuable Thing," "material artificial Thing consisting
of houses and streets," "Town lit with gas," "Town paved with
gold," "old English Book."]
Just as a Class is said to be _Real_, or _Unreal_, according as there
_is_, or _is not_, an existing Thing in it, so also a Name is said to be
_Real_, or _Unreal_, according as there _is_, or _is not_, an existing
Thing represented by it.
[Thus, "Town lit with gas" is a _Real_ Name: "Town paved with
gold" is an _Unreal_ Name.]
Every Name is either a Substantive only, or else a phrase consisting of
a Substantive and one or more Adjectives (or phrases used as
Adjectives).
Every Name, except "Thing", may usually be expressed in three different
forms:--
(_a_) The Substantive "Thing", and one or more
Adjectives (or phrases used as Adjectives) conveying
the ideas of the Attributes;
pg005
(_b_) A Substantive, conveying the idea of a Thing with
the ideas of _some_ of the Attributes, and one or more
Adjectives (or phrases used as Adjectives) conveying
the ideas of the _other_ Attributes;
(_c_) A Substantive conveying the idea of a Thing with
the ideas of _all_ the Attributes.
[Thus, the phrase "material living Thing, belonging to the
Animal Kingdom, having two hands and two feet" is a Name
expressed in Form (_a_).
If we choose to roll up together the Substantive "Thing" and the
Adjectives "material, living, belonging to the Animal Kingdom,"
so as to make the new Substantive "Animal," we get the phrase
"Animal having two hands and two feet," which is a Name
(representing the same Thing as before) expressed in Form (_b_).
And, if we choose to roll up the whole phrase into one word, so
as to make the new Substantive "Man," we get a Name (still
representing the very same Thing) expressed in Form (_c_).]
A Name, whose Substantive is in the _plural_ number, may be used to
represent either
(1) Members of a Class, _regarded as separate Things_;
or (2) a whole Class, _regarded as one single Thing_.
[Thus, when I say "Some soldiers of the Tenth Regimen
