The workhorse phrase is , and it is the plain way to say "a kind of" when the correlative will not stretch. Keep apart from : a is a type of thing, a is a way of doing something. The adjective is a separate borrowed root and does not mean "of a kind", so do not build from it by accident. is special; in compounds means of that type, as in samspeca for of the same kind and diversspeca for of various kinds.
