Dubia autem sunt genera, quae⁸ nulla ratione cogente auctoritas ueterum diuerso genere protulit⁹, ut ‘hic finis’ et ‘haec finis’… ‘silex¹⁰,’ ‘margo¹¹.’ …‘bubo¹²,’ ‘dáma¹³’, panthera’ in utroque genere promiscue¹⁴ sunt^[1] prolata¹⁵. Sunt alia¹⁶ natura et signifi­catione¹⁷ mobilia, non etiam uoce¹⁸, ut … ‘patruus¹⁹ ámita²⁰,’ ‘auunculus²¹ matertera²²’; sunt alia uoce, non etiam naturae signifi­catione²³ mobilia²⁴, ut ‘lucifer²⁵ lucifera²⁶’…
