Temporal ordering(in philosophy of language and logic)
The arrangement or sequence of events in time—which thing happens first, second, etc.
conjunction(Argument about atomic parthood via directional contact)
The coming together or contact of atoms from different directions, used to test whether atoms have spatial parts.
lexical ambiguity(Underpins Kripke's cross-linguistic test: because the co-occurrence of meanings in one word form is accidental, unrelated languages would not be expected to reproduce the same pairing)
Accidental homophony in which two separate and unrelated meanings are expressed by the same phonological form
