glosses: Having the property that when used to modify a noun, it denotes a subset of the all possible denotations of the noun, but does not modify any other meanings of the entity that the noun denotes. For example "habitual" in the phrase "habitual liar" is subsective. If the liar is also a woman, the fact that she is a habitual liar does not imply that she is a "habitual woman".
