Jim, List,
These are some of the reasons that I prefer
"elementary relative" to "individual relative"
and "absolute", "monadic", or "non-relative" to
"term of singular reference", since the words
"individual" and "singular" have too many
meanings in too many different contexts.
Regards,
Jon

Jon,
Yes. You are right. I should have stayed out of that one on reference. The
question of generality is open though.

Jim, List,
No, I think that is incorrect.
"A non-relative term may be called a term of singular reference."
I don't think that leaves any room for A:B to be a term of singular reference.
The series singular, dual, plural here describes the arities 1, 2, ≥ 3.
A non-relative term is also known as an absolute term.
The letters A, B, C here refer to individuals, not classes.
All the concepts and distinctions treated in this chapter, modulo the usual
variations in notation and terminology, are discussed in much greater detail
in the 1870 Logic of Relatives. See the following article, where I added much
in the way of illustrative examples:
