Circular definition of 'Generically dependent continuant'

[zhengj2007]

'Generically dependent continuant' has the following definition: “b is a generically dependent continuant = Def. b is a continuant that g-depends_on one or more other entities. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [074-001])” While technically a textual definition it uses language that is not used outside the context of BFO-ontologies ‘g- depends_on’ and insofar as ‘g-depends_on’ is an abbreviation for ‘generically- depends on’ it is a circular definition. A Generically dependent continuant is a continuant that generically depends on one or more other entities. 

Need to elucidate "generically depends on" and define "generically dependent continuant" in terms of "generically depends on" this is in good logical order. There is no circularity.
