The commentary distinguishes four uses of hukm (judgment):
1. Al-mahkum bihi: the predicate being judged, such as standing.
2. Wuqūʿ al-nisba or its absence: whether the relation obtains.
3. The relation as connecting the terms: the link itself.
4. Apprehending whether it obtains: cognition of the relation's obtaining or not obtaining.
Context matters when interpreting the term. A predicate, a relation, and cognition of its occurrence are distinct aspects.
