Status of names



And reckons names to be predicates, homonymously defined for people like
James Carter (former U.S. president) and James Carter (author of Gua\spi).
I reckon names to be uninterpreted strings, and "la kartyr.djeimyz." to be
shorthand for "le se cmene be lu kartyr.djeimyz. li'u be mi".

I don't think there has to be a consensus view on this one.
