I am not inferring that Words have a single meaning. I am implying that 
Words and Phrases denote things (entities). That's it.    (02)

"Kingsley Idehen" (a phrase comprised of two words) as the value of a 
<#name> relation claims the existence (in the claim makers mind-eye) of 
a foaf:Person entity type associated with the literals "Kingsley Idehen" :    (03)

[] <#name> "Kingsley Idehen" ;
    <#type> foaf:Person.    (04)

As far as I know every participant in a relation is denoted by some kind 
of identifier. Words and Phrases are identifiers, as far as I know.    (05)

It isn't out of context. My post is about Linked Data  where the context 
is all about HTTP URIs and entity denotation.    (07)

That isn't what I am trying to convey in my post. My post, as stated 
above is simply about entity denotation patterns across two realms:    (09)

1. World Wide Web
2. The real-world (as some may call it) which isn't the World Wide Web 
where things are denoted using Words and Phrases.    (010)
