unfixed identifiable


Explanation:
"no fixades" = "unfixed"
- rather than "non-fixed", but otherwise per Daniel's explanation
"amb entitat" = "identifiable"
- "amb entitat" and "irreconeixibles" seem to be two contrasting descriptions in this classification scheme; I'm not clear why "amb entitat" is used rather than "reconeixibles" but since it is, I go for "identifiable" rather than recognisable"/"recognizable"
