The problem is that you don't seem to understand the concept of domain 
of discussion (or context).

Quine is talking about the limitation of Natural Language to discuss 
concepts, that BECAUSE words can have ill-defined meaning, a statement 
in Natural Language can be ambiguous.

Your seemingly important need to just try to redefine terms just shows 
that you actually don't understand the terms that you are using.
