    Are there spaces besides domestic ones where most things don’t have names or identifiers but are referred to by role, identifying attribute, or being the unique instance of a class present in the context? “The big pot” “The old armchair” “The car” “The cat’s blanket”

        Do you mean in an office? Small offices are like homes I guess. Large ones have names/numbers for conference/meeting rooms.

        If you go back long enough lots place names could fit that description + some etymological drift.

        Great point! Two Scandinavian place names that might possibly fit @vgr's query - if I'm understanding it correctly, that is? https://www.journals.uio.no/index.php/osla/article/download/313/438 … Legene: "place where the cattle rest" Ullensvang: "pagan god’s name Ullin and “meadow where people assemble’"

        Because there aren't sufficient words in the English language to describe odors, most people refer to odors this way. So, odor space in English.

        Some cultures have better words, so their odor space is not like that. For example, the Maniq language in Southern Thailand.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010027713002527 …

        Small towns with only one retail option per category. The Chinese food place is after the left turn past that house with the RV. The old factory up the way. The video store. The bar. The barber.
