Comment: Another possible translation equivalent for non-nature (ngo bo nyid med pa; niḥsvabhāva) is non-entityness. Despite being admittedly awkward, it closely reflects in both its etymology and its meaning the Sanskrit term niḥsvabhāva which is derived from the verbal root bhū to be. For, entity is derived in its basic form (es) from the Latin esse to be and is derived in its suffixed form from the Sanskrit as which, like bhū, means being. In addition, entity means something that exists as a particular and discrete unit or the fact of existence; being. Thus, non-entityness would be a suitable translation for the negative term niḥsvabhāva, if it were not so awkward; other possible translations are non-thingness, non-natureness, and unreality. Since all of these choices are awkward and since trisvabhāva is translated as three natures, I have chosen non-nature for niḥsvabhāva; it has the additional virtue of reflecting the play between svabhāva and niḥsvabhāva — (three) natures and (three) non-natures.
