PROPR: Relation Between a Plurality and a Semantically Relational Property

Definition: The expression (g PROPR r) is used to characterize a plurality g by means of a semantically relational quality r.

Examples:

 The bids were comparable.

Notes:

“The bids were comparable” doesn't mean that each of them was comparable on its own. “Comparable” makes sense only in the context of the whole collection, cf.:

 The bids were low.

In this example the proper relation to use is PROP.
