Thinking is a concept derived from the universal (cross-language) semantic prime, the verb 'think', indefinable by reference to words or concepts like 'mental' or 'cognitive', or the like, which have less clear meaning and add no accuracy to the meaning of 'think', and create circularity of definition in that they themselves ultimately are defined by reference to 'think'.[1]
'Mental' and 'cognitive' characterize activities of the 'mind', originally a verb, Sanskrit, 'manyate', he thinks.[2]
