We propose an intuitive understanding of the statement: ‘an ax-iom (or: an axiomatic basis) determines the meaning of the only specific constant occurring in it.’ We introduce some basic semantics for functors of the category sn,n of Le´sniewski’s Ontology. Using these results weprove that the popular claim that the axioms of Ontology determine themeaning of the primitive constants is false.
