答：意立名句文三，欲令眾生依名領受名所目法，謂色聲等增語是名。名能增生言語，或名從彼增語觸生，故說此名為增語觸。

Answer: The intent in establishing the three—names, sentences, and syllables—is to cause sentient beings to apprehend the dharmas designated by names in reliance on names; that is, the designation (adhivacana) for forms, sounds, and so forth is the name. Names are able to augment and generate verbal discourse, or names arise from that contact with designation (adhivacana-saṃsparśa); therefore this name is said to be designation-contact.
