Reference
Terms similar to property include predicable, attribute, quality, feature, characteristic, exemplifiable, type, and intensional entity.[1]
Entities a property is veridically predicated of are usually said to instantiate or exemplify the property. Followers of Alexius Meinong assert the existence of two different modes of predication, described as exemplification and encoding. Roughly, a property is exemplified by existent objects and encoded by nonexistent objects.
