Nonsense. If you use a word, you must define it. Please define
"countable number".

Not every word can be (verbally) defined. This would lead to
circularity. Some words can only be defined by ostention or example.

Or, by giving axioms that the word satisfies. However, something must be
given or we are only discussing poetry.
