(Aül 9) - Hintikka: but the indefinable symbols are for Wittgenstein nothing more than names and these stand for objects - but the name is not a linguistic symbol (the letter R) but a linguistic relation, namely, to occur next to a specific letter - But different than Frege's distinction saturated/unsaturated. >Definability, >Names.
