Let us now consider an extension of the language (4): Besides the four words “cube”, “column” etc., let it contain a series of words applied in the way in which the grocer in (2) applies || applied the numerals, – it can || may be the series of the letters of the alphabet; further, let there be two words, which we may pronounce || say || let us choose “there” and “this”, since this already suggests roughly their purpose, – they are to be used in connection with a pointing movement of the hand || gesture; and finally let us use certain little squares || bits of paper of various colours. A now gives a command of the || this sort: “d slab there” – at the same time letting the assistant see || showing his assistant a coloured square, and with the word “there” pointing to a certain place. B takes from the supply of slabs one || a slab of the same colour as the coloured square for each letter of the alphabet up to “d” || for each letter of the alphabet up to “d” a slab of the same colour as the coloured square and brings it to the place which A indicates. – On other occasions A gives the command “this there” – with “this” he points to || at a building stone || block – and so on.
