Shaggy as meaning 'the property of being hairy-coated"

-- the actual parlance of Grice, when in an intensionalist mood, as the lecture VI of WoW gets to its end.

From the same online site referred in previous post:

http://www.uea.ac.uk/~j108/Horwich.htm

"Now since Davidson, according to Horwich, analyses meaning we should expect him to fall victim to the fallacy. And indeed he does, or so claims Horwich. He takes Davidson to be committed to ---

--- Predicate [beta] means F = ("y)(x is true of y ↔ y exemplifies f-ness),[[3]]

where, presumably, the property of '...being true of all and only those things that exemplify...' is what constitutes means (as it holds of predicate expressions), and so constitutes the uniform underlying nature of predicate meaning." And so on.
