Right. Not that the distinction can't be made. I have no issue with
the predicate "klesi" and with the predicate "mupli". I just think any
such distinction is context dependent and that there isn't a fixed set
of things out there divided into the two types and such that we choose
from those predetermined things what to put into our domain of
discourse.
