Abstract
In this work author analyses names (signs) with the period of existence greater than zero. The whole body of names (signs) is divided into 1) “long-timed words” and 2) “singular words”. It is shown that in Peirce Triangle the name (sign) itself, its denotation and meaning may last in different combinations. Typology of “long-timed words” and “singular words” is described. New notion describing the world of possible and real objects is introduced - Ontological Space or Writing Sample (Propis). Tetrahedron of Propis is also introduced with meaning (concept) rather than name (sign) as its apex. It is shown than neither “name” nor “denotate” can exist without sense whilst sense can exist without “name” or “denotate”. The fact that Writing Sample (Propis) consists of “segments-streaks” is justified. It is also shown that “long-timed words” do (do not) correspond to these “segments-streaks” of the Propis. Analysis of the Propis led to formulating fourteen axioms that its “segments-streaks” and “long-timed words” obey.

Summary
Present work seeks to continue the topic presented in previous publications [6;10]. It is suitable to remind that in the named works a new notion describing “ontological space” was introduced — “Ontological Writing Sample (Propis)”. Peirce suggested to distinguish three types of objects in order to analyze notions and corresponding terms: signs (names), denotations of these signs (names), and meaning of these signs (names). I should deem answering this question paramount and in order to do so introduce new concept of “long-timed words”. Their denotation, the object signified, and their concept or meaning, has life-time or duration greater than an instant (zero-time). Any word of natural or artificial language having meaning and denoting certain object might be used as an example of a word-segment. This is rather straightforward and needs no presenting actual example.
