What is the “potency” of a vocabulary? Since it is the nature of words to act as containers for ideas, meaning, principles and values, the “potency” of a vocabulary is in the magnitude of power and generative force in the ideas, meaning, principles and values of its words.  Words contain Concepts and Concepts contain a Logic.
