If it's plural, or can be made plural, or can be made possessive, it's a
noun. (Forget that "person place or thing" nonsense.)
If it can be conjugated, it's a verb. (Forget that "action word" nonsense.)
Hence, a transparency as in a clear sheet of plastic can be pluralized, and
is hence a noun. Transparency as in the property of a substance can be made
possessive: "The transparency's quality is low in this glass."
