9.144

言是故一切假說若具不具乃至有其自性者,汝前三宗隨起言說即有自性,然彼一法隨多言說無多自性,將知一切假說分別皆有自性,一法有多名各具,一法但一名名不具。

Regarding "Therefore, all metaphorical designations, whether complete or incomplete, [...] possess their intrinsic nature": according to your previous three theses, intrinsic nature exists as soon as speech is uttered; however, that single phenomenon does not possess multiple intrinsic natures in accordance with the multiple utterances. One should realize that although all conceptualizations of metaphorical designations are said to possess intrinsic nature, when one phenomenon has multiple names, each is "complete," and when one phenomenon has only a single name, the names are "incomplete."
