Wolf I 49
Name/concrete/abstract/Mill: E.g. "White" is at the same time the name of an object and many objects (concrete).
"Whiteness" is the name of an attribute. "Age": name of an attribute. (Abstract, generalization). Originates from Locke and Condillac.
Wolf I 50
"Attribute" is itself the generic name of many attributes.

Name/abstract/singular term/Mill: however, if an attribute does not allow degree differences or type differences, it is not a general term but a singular term:
E.g. Visibility, tangibility, equality, rectitude, milk white. This is not a multiplicity of attributes, but a specific attribute.
>Attribute, >Singular term, >General term, >Name.
