You need to get some Platonic smarts Card! It's the reference of the word, not the word itself that counts. 'Om' (pa Svenska) is the same "token' as 'om' in New Age English, but these linguistic tokens refer to quite distinct abstract entities. Just as, for example, the Swedish linguistic token "baksida" refers (I think) to "rear" in English (as in the rear of a building, and not to your backside, your 'arse'). Or 'fart' - which most amusingly for little minds such as mine is (I think) in Swedish 'Jazz' (or speed, velocity, pace, start, go, going, force, energy, push, impetus, verve, clip, swing, snap, pep, zing, zip, ginger, trade). Or "Naturen" - which in Swedish refers to the Platonic entity 'countryside', and not "The Nature". No?
