How "implicatum" fails to recognise Grice's genius

While "implicatura" (in Latin, as used by Sidonius) or "implicature" as used by Grice does recognise a variant from 'implicatio' or 'implication', the term "implicatum" (also used by Grice, WoW:II) fails to do so!

So one is never sure, when reading 'implicatum' if _pragmatic inference_ (i.e. beyond truth-conditions) is meant. Or not!
