Of course you could learn how to drive a car without any language skills (however language makes it easier). All I am saying is that when it comes to the conscious mind, all you know are concepts. You communicate and think about lables and how they relate to eachother.
In the way you would normally classify knowledge? I wasn't aware there was a universal definition that limited knowledge to only words. In fact, in my opinion, words have nothing to do with knowledge at all.
You basically say words are empty because their definitions can only be determined by using other words, and so on into infinity. Well, but if someone takes me to a table, points, and says "THAT is a table.", do I remain totally ignorant of what a table is and have nothing but hollow concepts in my mind? No. I know what a table is because I have seen it, not because there are a thousand other hollow concepts that refer to it.
