"affirming or denying a predicate to a part of the subject -- used of a proposition in logic" 'Used of' = used when talking about, used to describe eg Stubborn is a word that is often used of Tom.

	Ginkgo  +  317192 Fri, 19 Jan 07 11:19 AM Dear Clive, Thank you very much for your reply. The reply with a good example sentence is very helpful to me. It is very difficult for me to grasp the exact meaning of a preposition on a case-by-case basis. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely, Ginkgo.
