Dear Mr [[?]]

Two or three other questions arise in connection with the paper I am writing. Which I will be glad to have your answers.

1 Did children have individual names?

2 If not, what were they called?

3 When could a child receive a name?

4 Must he wait until something happened to him, or until he did something himself, an act of generosity or valor.

5 When he took a name, must he hear this ritual recited in order to make it his [[?]] or valid?
