| | ::::::If someone says "Give me your location", do we really need to have a definition of {{term|location||address or coordinates of the place of interest}}? And does "Now tell me the guests." mean that we need {{term|guest||name of person visiting}}? I don't think that the metonymy from name or other index (such as ''[[address]]'' to named or indexed entity (''[[residence]]'', ''[[destination]]'', ''[[birthplace]]''), which might be includable as a sense in all the main terms for names and indexes, needs to go the other way. ''Every'' entity has a name and location (in various locational schemes, no less) and may have other indexings (IP address, serial number). That seems to be a characteristic of the very act of naming or indexing something, that is, part of syntax.

| | * '''Delete''' For this to be a distinct sense from "The place where one lives.", it would have to only apply to cases where a home had a street address. As far as I can tell, that's not the case. If the witnesses lived in a caravan, or a tent, or a houseboat, they would not have street addresses, but for the superintendent's purposes, these would still be their residences. As DCDuring says above, it can be assumed that any definition that covers a location also covers a verbal statement of that location. "Write your town in the box" sounds perfectly normal, if slightly informal (there's an example on [http://sss.hva.org.uk/ this website] of a herpes clinic), as would "street", "county", "country", "state", and any number of other places that people could be said to live in.
