Well, a *rafsi* is not a word, but at best a morpheme.

But we are not talking about words, but about quoted strings/text when you
are making claims involving these types of sumti.  Think English, and in
a noisy channel we say a word by spelling it out, thoug, so perhaps even
wordsa are not more than strings of letters.

zo mav refers to something/one named "mav", and that something may intensionally
be the rafsi "mav".  But otherwise the name and the rafsi are not the same
word since a rafsi is not a word.  The cmene "gerku" is allowed only BECAUSE
gismu are allowed to be used as descriptive names (intensionally descriptive
or labelling, actually), so the gismu and the cmene are identical and zo gerku
is unquestionably ojne thing in this case.
