8. Modes of Existence / B. Properties / 1. Nature of Properties

9295	Not only substances have attributes; events, actions, states and qualities can have them [Teichmann]
	Full Idea: It is not true that only substances have attributes; events, actions, states and qualities can all be characterized.
	From: Jenny Teichmann (The Mind and the Soul [1974], Ch.2)
