The word "counter" reveals its versatility in literature, appearing with a range of meanings that span concrete objects, abstract actions, and oppositional forces. In strategic contexts, it denotes game pieces or tactical moves—as seen in the placement of markers in chess or puzzles [1, 2, 3]—while in military narratives it designates responses to enemy maneuvers or orders [4, 5]. The term also describes physical fixtures, notably shop or bar surfaces where characters interact [6, 7, 8, 9], and extends to heraldic and mathematical applications where balance and opposition are key [10, 11, 12]. Moreover, "counter" functions as a prefix to indicate a reversal or corrective action in various domains, from a counter-blow in battle [13] to counter-communication in law [14], underscoring its semantic richness across genres and contexts [15, 16].
