| Classification of Simple Relatives (cont.)
|
| c.  Third, relatives are divisible into those for which every
|     element of the form (A:B) have another of the form (B:A),
|     and those which want this symmetry.  This is the old
|     division into 'equiparants'[1] and 'disquiparants'[2],
|     or in Professor De Morgan's language, convertible
|     and inconvertible relatives [3].  Equiparants are
|     their own correlatives.  All copulatives are
|     equiparant.
|
| [1] [Marginal Note].  "If such reciprocation is admissible
|     but not necessary they may be called 'reciprocal'."
|
| [2] "Quaedam sunt relationes equiparantiae, quaedam disquiparantiae. ..."
|     Peirce gives extended quotations from Ockham and Petrus Hispanus [JA].
