This theme, "knowing the name controls the thing/creature", is familiar from fairytales, and may also be seen as the essence of linguistic consiousness - naming, verbalizing things makes us able to deal with them. And man gave name to all the animals... Is there an article dealing with such themes - in literature, their history etc. - that one may link here?--Niels Ø 21:33, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
