I wonder whether it is wise to use "essent" for "Seiend". Given
the contortions Heidegger puts "Wesen" and its derivatives through, it
might be prudent to reserve "essent" for one of these derivatives.
Strict observance of the distinction between the big B and the little b
should avoid most confusion.
