For best results, speak the word aloud and focus your attention on the mind object that forms in the periphery of your awareness.

See if you can notice the relationship between their informational structure and spatial geometry. With practice, you might even begin to notice the shape of the conceptual boundaries which demarcate two sibling concepts.
