If a person pointed at a rabbit and said "Gavagai!", you might have a tough time making sense of that. Gavagai could mean rabbit, sure, but it could also mean stuff like "instance of rabbitness" or "undetached rabbit parts." But if a person pointed at a rabbit and said "Undetached Rabbit Parts!", that wouldn't make any sense at all.
