Hey Peter:

Here I think you overstate your case. And don't lump me together with Kevin as here I am arguing the same side as you.



I know, Karl. My point is that assuming just one meaning for any word can lead people astray in many different directions.

Peter:

This is why it is so important to try to analyze each lexeme within the semantic domains of its parent language, and not as one would translate it.

...

I agree with you, if one insists on a certain *English* meaning, that can lead to all sorts of headaches, if not worse.


Thank you, Karl. But I have studied and taught semantics. I was not at all referring to English glosses, but to actual distinct meanings, or to broad ranges of meaning.
