'What's Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba, that he should weep for her?' (Hamlet 2.2, 536–7), asks Hamlet, watching a player's tear-filled recital of Hecuba's sufferings. Priam and Hecuba make a briefer appearance in Varro's De lingua Latina: while we immediately grasp that lego and legi both express the same action, each at a different time, were one of them expressed as 'Priamus' and the other as 'Hecuba', they would not additionally signify their unity (8.3). Hence the necessity of inflexion in speech: we could never remember enough words, if they were all different and 'unrelated'.
