The process of investigation of things worked backwards towards their 
root? - less a concept than a trail and what is observed. From /ontos/ and

/logos/, to discuss on origins?

And hence: the how we know [which is an ontological factor] relates to 
names, which you will agree [?] we perceive usually only as result, not
any 
process of knowing how the name came about, or indeed, of other names, 
previous names, nor even the semiological aspect of what the names mean.

But given that we seem to be in some sort of agreement about origins of 
names - are there some names you think right which perhaps you have
noticed 
I claimed otherwise? Or is it my naming that you do not think right?

Let's just talk about either of those if you wish.
