1. Since nonexistent objects don't exist, it's hard to see how they could be a part of the singular propositions that, according to Millians, are expressed by sentences containing empty names. Furthermore, it is implausible that Meinongianism applies to all empty names: some name-looking words, like our ?Xuphy Kishtraa', are so made-up that even Meinongians should balk at postulating a non-existent entity for them to refer to. Meinongians should expect that such words would be treated by ordinary speakers as non-words;Salmon;20 This view may be called abstract Millianism,1904
