If accidental forms cannot be predicated of the universal substantial form even indirectly without distorting the species-individual distinction, the 'essentialiter' route collapses into mere equivocation.

Accidental forms(Distinguished from substantial form in hylomorphic analysis): A substance's accidental qualities, as opposed to its substantial form
Equivocation(Lewis diagnoses the ontological argument as equivocating on 'a being than which nothing greater can be conceived is possible'.): A fallacy in which a key term or phrase is used in two different senses within the same argument, making an invalid inference appear valid.
Predicated(used when discussing whether we can say 'motion' applies to something): Asserted or stated as true about something—when you say a quality or action 'belongs to' or 'applies to' something.
Universal substantial form(in metaphysics, drawing on Aristotelian philosophy): The shared essential nature or defining blueprint that all members of a category (like all humans or all dogs) have in common.
