What I mean is that what is outside of language (if anything, etc.) is not
in itself already divided into distinct entities that language in its turn
supplies with names. Divisions seem to be introduced with language, as is
indicated by the fact that different languages make different divisions.
This is not to say that there is no difference outside of language. However,
'difference' is a concept introduced with language.
