For instance, rain is the cause of wetness which is its effect; 'the rain makes wet,' this is an analytical proposition; the same water which is rain is wetness; as rain, this water is only in the form of a subject by itself; as wetness or moisture, it is on the contrary in adjectival form, something posited no longer meant to have a subsistence on its own; and the one determination, just like the other, is external to water.
