We can || ; refer to them in what we say.” – As though with the act of naming we had already at hand what we go on to do afterwards || all that happens after it were already fixed. As though there were only one thing that is called “speaking about things”. Whereas actually we || we actually do things of the most widely different kinds || the most widely different kinds of things with our sentences. Think only of the interjections. – With || – with their entirely || utterly || very different functions.
     Water!
     Away! || Get out!
