Comments

As noted in (the editorial comments to) Algebraic systems, quasi-variety of, the quasi-identities (cf. Quasi-identity) defining a quasi-variety are usually called Horn sentences. Correspondingly, a quasi-variety is also known as a universal Horn class; it is also called a quasi-primitive class.
