When a word or concept 'ends', you will translate it. Before it ends, you can can deal with it without converting it into a picture or a word.
For example, the sentence: "there is a lion coming". How do you deal with the sentence. Do you imagine a lion coming? If so, where is the lion coming to? To me or to you? What's the context?
There are too many variables, so it's difficult to convert that sentence directly into a picture - but you still understand what it means. It's just a fragment, but it represents some type of mental concept, and this mental concept could be related to danger. As soon as I can complete the fragment:
"There is a lion coming up behind your desk", you can immediately convert it away from a a mental concept into pictures or words.
