Salvation for the deaf and mute?: Say it ain't so.

[ChristopherHall]

I think it's difficult to use the authority of one without calling upon the power and authority behind their name. The ancients placed much importance on the spoken name. To speak a name was to invoke all power and authority involved. It was so sacred they guarded the Tetragrammaton and even stopped and cleansed their quills when writing the sacred name's consonants.
