He is Amr’s father — a reciprocal familial relation.
He is sitting — an arrangement of bodily parts, or position.
He wears a cloak — an enveloping condition, or having.
The same person is described throughout, but each statement identifies a different aspect. Classification concerns what kind of attribute is predicated, not merely who the grammatical subject is.
