As I cam by da Trölligirts An stoppit at da Millburn broo,I met a peerie osmil wife And shö wis gadderin lukkie’s oo.‘Göd wife, ye’re trang,’ I said ta her. Shö held up some fir me ta see. ‘A’ll caird it on my cairds o green, An spin, an mak a sark fir dee.‘An whin du slips him ower dy head, Du’ll see whit nane is seen fir lang;Du’ll kyin da Nyugl by da burn, Du’ll listen tae da Filgee’s sang.‘Da doors, in green knowes oppenin, Will lukk dee in among wis aa,An dere, whaar time gengs dancin by, Du’ll never want ta win awa.’

Peter of Spain (thirteenth century)… was the author of a standard textbook on logic, the Tractatus, which enjoyed a high renown in Europe for many centuries…One of the most important elements in Peter's logic concerns the doctrine of supposition…

The primary semantic property of a word is its significatio, in Peter's definition, the "representation of a thing by a word in accordance with convention". It is a natural property of a word, the presentation of some (universal) content to the mind…

The counterpart of significatio, the formal constituent of every meaning, is the word's capacity to "stand for" different things (even though its significatio remains the same), depending on the context in which it is used.
