Or perhaps you mean "the symbols we use to write signs and gestures"? >> Thanks for your response to my questions about sequence. I used the word 'things' in an effort to generalize the construct of a dictionary. I was assuming that the purpose of a dictionary was to locate something from one setting that could be translated into another setting. In my dictionary the purpose for example is to locate a sign to be translated into an English equivalent so the "thing" is in that case a sign. In you case the "thing" might be a symbol that is to be translated into a movement, for example. The purpose and its construct is the center of my lack of understanding.
