While Mr. Bird may be considered an extension, it seems that his name can
be used as an intensional reference. "I'm looking for a bird -- any
bird.", "I am looking for Mr. Bird".

Also, since intension seems closely related to abstractions, tu'a looks
like it can signal intension. But more explicitly, an intensional
reference to a Doctor is lo jai ka mikce, with jai of course not
performing a place reordering but raising the sumti out of the abstractor
in the first place, turning the meaning into "one or more things that have
the property of being a Doctor".
