a1856 W. Hamilton Lect. Metaphysics (1860) IV. App. 279 Here some may mean some only—some not all. Here some, though always in a certain degree indefinite, is definite so far as it excludes omnitude,—is used in opposition to all. This I would call its Semi-definite meaning.
1864 F. C. Bowen Treat. Logic v. 137 Whenever we predicate a Genus of a Species, the Predicate is obviously quantified as Particular; and some, which is the predesignation of particularity, must then be thought in its semi-definite sense.
