unsayable

unsayable
a) Not capable of being said.

Whatsoever has been said before me, even on any subject, surely it belongs thereto that it can be repeated by me in rehearsal, and hence it does not seem possible that in this sense it should be so fitly called unspeakable or unsayable.

b) Not allowed or not fit to be said.

Nonetheless, in some unsayable way, value sentences are about values and reflect the structure of values.
