1. What sign, feature, or condition is expressed?
2. Does that sign identify a person or thing, or is the quality itself the target?
If a referent is intended, it is kināyah concerning the referent. If only a property is sought, it belongs to the next class. The number of features is not decisive; the object of inference is.
