A similar law regulates the names of animals and things after which a deceased person had been called. Thus, if a man is called after an animal, or place, or thing, and he dies, the animal, or place, or thing is not mentioned during the time of mourning by any member of the deceased person's tribe, except under another name, because it recalls the memory of the dead.
