Your questions refer to words; so I have to talk about words. You say:;: The point isn't the word, but its meaning, and you think of the meaning as a thing of the same kind as the word, though also different from the word. Here the word, there the meaning.
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1974). “Philosophical Grammar: Part I, The Proposition, and Its Sense, Part II, On Logic and Mathematics”, p.122, Univ of California Press
