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’…
