I chose the term weight deliberately for that reason. Weight is also a
property. It is just not a property of the object in itself. It is
more really a property of the object in combination with the
gravitational system in which it is weighed. The difference is that we
then have a property of the object which has further definable
properties of its own. And I did this to illustrate that properties
themselves have properties. A trifle devious perhaps. But undoubtedly
significant.
