Names of simple ideas and substances " inti- mate real existence. " Names of simple ideas and modes signify always both real and nominal essence. Names of simple ideas are indefinable. The principaL. Abuses of words consist in the use ofjh^m^_wjth^ut_any_clear ideas attached to them, the " unsteady^application of them, the affected wrong apph^ajioji^f_them 4l _the taking of them for things" (particularly in the case of substances). Words have their inherent limitations, however. The names of mi...xed modes are doubtful because the ideas they stand for are so complex and there is no standard in nature to refer them to. Names of substances are doubtful be- cause they refer to a real essence that can not be known, and to coexisting qualities, which are known only limitedly.
