The source claims that Hebrew supplies genuine names which disclose a thing’s power and property. Its following animal examples, however, are expressed in Latin without demonstrated Hebrew derivations. This is a linguistic-theological claim rather than verified etymology: the passage asserts a privileged relation between name and nature but does not prove it separately for each example.
