I really can't discuss it further, because I don't really know the Scholastic philosophical vocabulary. Translating these rather abstract terms has often caused a lot of trouble. For instance, Aquinas raised doubts that the Latin "substantia" really was an exact synonym of the Greek "ousia" --- and in common (21th century) English, "Substance" means almost the OPPOSITE of "ousia".
