[Reexamination of the problem of taboo on animal names, with special reference to the IE names for the bear. Addition of the Dravidian words for ‘tiger’. The hypothesis of mere avoidance of animal names by hunters does not explain; it is probable that in almost all cases a religious attitude is to be looked for.]
