Latin Etymology

Aliud est universale per voluntariam institutionem. Et sic vox prolata, quae est vere una qualitas numero, est universalis, quia scilicet est signum voluntarie institutum ad significandum plura. Unde sicut vox dicitur communis, ita potest dici universalis; sed hoc non habet ex natura rei sed ex placito instituentium tantum.
