That isn't a problem with the counterargument, because the "paradox" as-stated also uses the word "thing".
For that matter, the paradox is self-resolving. By labeling the entities it is concerned with as "unnameable things", it has named them. As a collection, entities not otherwise named can be simply referred to as "Bhartrhari's things".
