·     AT-E1168-lecture15.t0:06:57-07:24: There are different kinds of names, so young people sometimes get young names. So when you’re unripe, when you’re ch’ok, your name is also unripe, [so] it’s your ch’ok k’aba’. So you’re born and for a while, you live as a young person. So you go by whatever your parents called you, right? And then you acquire additional status, additional offices, additional roles in the society, and then your name changes with you.
