Names or words are not the objects. For example, the word desk is a name and not the things it is talking about. Things we sense, feel and think about have names but are not those words. The word pencil is a name. A desk is an object. Some similar objects have the same name, such as tree. Yet, the similar objects also have different names. Some things we know of by senses such as touch. Some things we know of by feeling and some by thinking. Senses such as seeing help us know what a name such as orange means. Some words, such as goodness, name objects that are similar because we like them.[1]
