A nominal name; alias. A name which is not the actual term originally formulated to designate a specific meaning or a thing, but a later (perhaps vulgar or common) secondary term designating the same thing, e.g. 'the rabbit bearer' ({ri bong can}) refering to the moon. There are two types of nominal names:\n1. {'dra ba rgyu mtshan du byas nas btags pa'i ming /} nominal name because of similar features, e.g. calling a man a monkey\n2. {'brel ba rgyu mtshan du byas nas btags pa'i ming /} nominal name because of relationship, e.g. calling sunrays the sun.
