Nomenclature

No one fairly knows what a "thing" is, not before "education"
Attributes ... Names begin "THING-ing" for us, the indoctrination 
Moses means "pull out, draw" as Pharaoh's daughter did
Even Avram was changed to Abraham, Jacob to "Isra El" by God
Some naming is needed. But for God, human SHUTDOWN would be the rule! 


NOTES: 
1. Most of the species on the planet communicate very well, and minimally with words and sounds. After all some 75% of human 'dialog" is non-verbal.
2. The fact that "God" or somebody changes names in Scripture, to better represent the prophet or messenger, SIGNIFIES that "naming" can go "wrong."

Hard to be non-verbal with response, but I'm trying, good one Anil...
