<i>... an explanation that the Moon has the power of talking, because he belongs to the Mantis, all of whose things talk (L II.-6. 670-677). </i>|kaggen<i> </i>(the Mantis) speaks to the Moon because he has created the Moon from his shoe, which can speak. All of |kaggen's things can speak and have 'understanding', as do those belonging to his wife, |huntu !kat !katten.
