5. The Sabdabhasa While maintaining that the past mode of a thing is different from its present and future modes, if one contends that the substance underlying the modes is different in each case, he would be committing this fallacy.
6. The Samabhirudhabhasa :-The Samabhirudhabhasa consists in holding that all words which are etymologically different must necessarily mean not only distinct aspects of an object but stand for distinct objects themselves.
7. The Evambhutabhasa :-This fallacy is committed if it is seriously maintained that a thing should have one name when it is active and a different one when it is passive.
