My first reaction is to look at 'Sub' as a noun, not an adjective, since
I know that NAME well on my code as being a noun. Meanwhile I know that
objects may be qualified (adjectivized) as class objects or instance
objects. So, I also happen to look at the word "object" as an adjective,
as Python object semantics would me do.
What you propose is that I look at that phrase the other way around,
which is kind of contrarian to how you actually use them in your code.

I agree. Sub instance is still somewhat ambiguous. So, maybe:
AttributeError: Instance of object 'Sub' has no attribute
'__bases__'
