Yes, so major descriptors, like colors and shapes and sizes, could mean nothing to her, beyond some elementary shapes and sizes small enough to feel with her hands. I imagine that even if she felt the four walls of a room, she would not have the ability to synthesis it in a coherent construct. What would a gun be, for example? Could one have an appreciation of its function, or, if that, of its mechanism? Was her education anagrammatic: did she learn the elements of puzzles that she would play, without having it mean much?
