We have discovered that ON man could be called after the types of his
own species as he understood them, and that these would be the tribal
names with which he was familiar, and that he could be called after
the parts of his own body or anatomy, or through a description of
that body or anatomy. We have learned that he could be called after
his own activities or occupations. Furthermore, we have learned that
our specimen could be described after the non-physical
characteristics that he either had, or considered that his type
should have. Thus, we have learned something about his philosophy, or
way of seeing himself, or how he thought that his type should be. We
have learned that light was important to him, and that being loud, or
making noise, was not necessarily a problem. Just how noisy was ON
man? Well, thus far our description of him has not ventured away from
his body, or his personal characteristics or activities, except to
say that he valued light, which again ties into his eyes. We shall
later see that it also ties into his home and beliefs, but first we
will take our first step away from ON man as such - that is, away
from his body and to the things he wore on it, or bore in his hands.
This should help to clarify why our specimen was called the things he
was, and make more sense out of his activities. We shall also see
that he had a strange habit of calling himself after some things that
were less directly related to him. Our first step from our specimen
and into his environment will be into the things nearest at hand for
him, and thereafter further out. -Konrad
