What are labels?

[Mark Knowles]

Yes, that's the important question, and my best guess so far has been a nomenclator solution.

Well obviously we have different approaches. More broadly there are other reasons that I suspect there are null words such as the fact that circular text so often fits neatly all the way round, which is very hard to do in practice unless one uses some kind of filler and given that such text has repeated words or similarly spelled words that further makes sense to me.

Obviously there are problematic issues that Torsten Timm and others have explored. Though I don't go as far as to suggest all text is meaningless, just some in my opinion.
