 sophism, consisting in generalizing what is exceptional (as perishableness).

English
अनित्यसम Tatpur. m. f. (-मः-मा) (In the Nyāya philosophy.)
Wrongly generalizing the predicament of perishableness i. e.
a sophism on perishableness
viz. arguing perishableness
from the reason that every thing is perishable because it
shares in some qualities with other things which are pe-
rishable. E. अनित्य and सम (in the sense of जाति, sophism)
the masc. form of this word is explained according to some,
by the ellipsis of प्रतिषेध or contradiction, as a Sūtra in
the Nyāya treating on a sophism is always followed by
another containing the refutation
or, according to others,
by the ellipsis of विकल्प (in the sense of विविधः कल्पः
i. e. प्रकारः or variousness), there being various sophisms,
viz. twenty-four
or according to others, by the ellipsis of
प्रयोग i. e. a (logical) proceeding which likens or produces
the plausibility of perishableness
or the word is taken as
a Bahuvr. with the ellipsis of प्रयोग i. e. a logical proceeding
in which perishableness is likened (viz. made plausible).--
As a feminine, °समा is taken in the sense of जाति, sophism.
