SYMBOLS.

By this series of symbols—

I will understand a series of more or less familiar notions; the number of rays expressing the comparative degree of familiarity; e.g. table is elephant is will mean that table is three times more familiar to me than elephant. The following series will convey the idea of the comparative degree of my familiarity with table, ink, lion, zodiac, chicholo.

table
ink
lion
zodiac
chicholo

The symbol O without any rays will represent a notion, the familiarity of which is equal to nothing.
