 "a" for library and "b" for archive or vice versa, and metaphysicians, sometimes, even use common words in a way which is opposite to the common sense and no great harm is done, for if any one, other than a metaphysician, wishes to read them, it is well understood that he must go about it as with any other foreign language.

In the same way it may be argued that the word library having been "preëmpted by the general consensus of Assyriologists for Ashurbanapal's collection" and being agreed on by them as being an "extensive literary collection" only, they cannot be denied its use, even if library science, archival science, history and popular use are not parties to the agreement. Psychologists and Palaeontologists, Neapolitans and Yorkshiremen use, and understand one another better in, their own dialects—why not Assyriologists as well.
