## = sense relations between words and other nodes (typicall not words -
but remember that metalanguage puts the grammar itself into the
encyclopedia!! E.g. the sense of "the word DOG" is DOG.)

## = relations between things that have nothing to do with language.

Yes I agree that there are all these kind of 'rules' - plus others, of
course (e.g. relations between words and non-linguistic concepts which are
not their senses, most obviously concepts for the typical user - e.g.
between BONNY and Scot).
