seb Selb

|seb| means blood
|selb| is derived from it and is a form that picks out
the 'typical property' of blood, viz redness
|Selb| is a verbalised form, and means 'does redness',
'is red'

there are other formulations, but they're less general
:

seb Per selb/Shelb
blood is actually ( in actuality ) red
( ie in the actual world )

seb Ter selb/Shelb
blood is red in this case ( but it could be otherwise
)
( ie in the actual world and some possible worlds ; OR
in this particular case and some others )

seb Gil selb/Shelb
blood is necessarily red
( ie in all possible worlds ; OR in all cases )

the second of these is the most accurate, as eg
spiders have blue blood, so blood is neither actually
red nor necessarily so

more to come . . .
