I thank you, amilœba, <- spelling error) for at least attempting to supply a definition. It's more than I've gotten from anyone else.

And thank you too Faldage, your kindness is exceeded only by your charming ability to equivocate.
Now will you please stop indulging my bruised ego and answer the question at hand...
(1)A referent
(2) a symbol for the referent
(3) an entity that can perceive the association.
Are these the delimitating components of a "word"?
Can you name any other qualities that might further delimitate this definition and still have universal application for all words; even those spoken on Mars and the Moon?
