ℑ God said:“What is not a symbol? All the concrete things in the world that exist are symbols. We can say that they are tokens. Love is not token, but love is seen in its expressions”.
HL 1684 ℑ
We can say that objects or facts are relations as well as separate entities. Language is a perfect illustration of this reality. Words have shape, physical properties as acoustic objects or graphic objects. Each word has a meaning as its property but the meaning of one word is just half of what it is.
Because the meaning of a word needs to be linked to the meaning of another word if it is to be understood, that is to be meaningful or full of meaning. Note that in any dictionary a word is always defined by other words.
