Language is thus always legein ti kata tinos saying something-on-something; it is therefore always pre-sup-positional and objectifying language. Presupposition is the form of linguistic signification: speaking kat' hypokeimenou, speaking about a subject. The warning that Plato entrusts to the Idea is therefore that sayability itself remains unsaid in what is said and in that about which something is said, that knowability itself is lost in what is known and in that about which something is known.

Poem 35: I Am Not Afraid

If you ask what kind of thing it is, whether it is a substance or an accident, it must be said that the sayable [enuntiabile], like the predictable, is neither substance nor accident nor any kind of other category. For it has its own mode of existence [Suum enim habet modus per se existendi]. And it is said to be extracategorical [extrapredicamentale], not, of course, in that it is not of any category, but in that it is not of any of the ten categories identifiable by Aristotle. Such is the case with this category, which can be called the category of the sayable [predicamentum enuntiabile].
