         Comments: Expressions for a number of terms for color differ on the basis of the object which is designated as having such a color. For example, a term for black as applied to a horse may be a different term from what one would use in speaking of a black box.

         DefinitionShort: a dark liquid used in writing or marking

         Glosses: ink

         Comments: The use of ink is so universal at the present time that some term or expression for it is almost inevitable in all languages. However, in some cases the equivalent is essentially a descriptive phrase, for example, ‘black stain’ or ‘writing stain.’
