Dear Kingsley,
Even then, not all words denote something (unless you can tell me what "of"
denotes) though I would agree some words do.

I am not inferring that Words have a single meaning. I am implying that
Words and Phrases denote things (entities). That's it. (04)
"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" : (05)
[] <#name> "Kingsley Idehen" ;
<#type> foaf:Person. (06)
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. (07)

It isn't out of context. My post is about Linked Data where the context
is all about HTTP URIs and entity denotation. (09)

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: (011)
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. (012)
