Terminological division:

1. Sound expressing a type རིགས་བརྗོད་ཀྱི་སྒྲ།

2. Sound expressing a collection ཚོགས་བརྗོད་ཀྱི་སྒྲ།

There are four possibilities:

• Both: Sound expressing "pot"
  • 1 due to expressing the generality
  • 2 due to expressing a mass composed of the right substance-particles རྡུལ་རྫས་བརྒྱད་འདུས་ཀྱི་གོང་བུ།
• Only 1: Sound expressing "object of knowledge"
  • 1 due to object of knowledge not being a collection-generality
  • Not 2 due to object of knowledge not being matter; because of not being a functioning thing.
• Only 2: Sound expressing "the two - pot and pillar"
  • Not 1 due to the pair not being a type-generality; because of not being a generality; because an instance of that does not exist.
  • 2 due to the pair being a collection-generality.
• Neither: Sound expressing "the two - permanent and impermanent"
  • Due to the pair being neither type of generality.

If it is an expressive sound it is pervaded by being an eliminative engager.
It is mutually inclusive with sound eliminative engager.
