- n. The mnemonic name given by Petrus Hispanus to that indirect mood of the first figure of syllogism in which the major premise is universal and affirmative, and the minor premise and conclusion are particular and affirmative. These distinctions of quantity and quality are indicated by the three vowels of the word, a, i, i. The letter s at the end shows that the mood is reduced to direct reasoning by simply converting the conclusion, while the letter d at the beginning shows that the mood to which this reduction leads is darii.
