 Nominal definitions, Ockham says, are different: There is one and only one nominal definition for any given connotative  term.[27]  While a real definition is expected to provide a structural description of certain things (which can be done in various ways, as we just saw), a nominal definition, by contrast, is supposed to unfold in a precise way the signification of the connotative term it serves to define, and this can only be done, Ockham thinks, by explicitly mentioning, in the right order and with the right connections, which kind of things are primarily signified by this term and which are secondarily signified. The nominal definition of the connotative term “brave”, to take a simple example, is “a living being endowed with bravery”; this reveals that “brave” primarily signifies certain living beings (referred to by the first part of the definition) and that it secondarily signifies — or connotes — singular qualities of bravery (referred to by the last part of the  definition).[28]  Any non-equivalent nominal definition is bound to indicate a different signification and would, consequently, be unsuitable if the original one was correct.
