Hahn's etymologies, to listen to other scholars about the perils and difficulties of the philological analysis of divine names, even in Aryan languages. I have already quoted his 'defender, Dr. Tiele.
Professor C. P. Tiele, dissatisfied with existing theories of the significance of sacrifice, contents himself with a general statement.
Destruction and Construction Thus writes Professor Tiele about the constructive part of our work. As to the destructive or would-be destructive part, he condenses my arguments against the method of comparative philology.
Max Muller had conceivably misapprehended Mr. Frazer's theory of the origin of totems. Then came into my mind the words of Professor Tiele, 'Beware of weak brethren' such as Herr Lippert seems, as far as this definition is concerned, to be. Nobody knows the origin of totemism. We find no race on its way to becoming totemistic, though we find several in the way of ceasing to be so.
An island near the head of the Persian Gulf, often referred to in the historical texts. See Tiele, Babyl.-Assyr. Gesch. p. 88, etc. Under the same circumstances. Lit., 'cattle'; but cattle appears to be used for 'property' in general, just as our English word 'chattel. 5th month. Under the same circumstances.

Jastrow, The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, 1898. The most complete account of the whole subject. Jastrow, "Religion of Babylonia," in Dictionary of the Bible, vol. v.
+1052+. Tiele here has in mind the highest form of the religious consciousness, which he carries back to the beginnings of religious thought. He is justified in so doing in so far as all later developments must be supposed to exist in germinal form at the outset of rational life; but such a conception tells us nothing of the historical origin of customs.
Professor Tiele, who had actually been claimed as an ally of the victorious army, declares: "Je dois m'elever, au nom de la science mythologique et de l'exactitude . . . centre une methode qui ne fait que glisser sur des problemes de premiere importance."
At the same time it is Professor Tiele who constantly speaks of 'the new school, while adding that he himself had freely opposed Mr. Max Muller's central hypothesis, 'a disease of language, in Dutch periodicals. Uses of Philology Professor Tiele then criticises Sir George Cox and Mr. Robert Brown, junior, for their etymologies of Poseidon. Indiscreet followers are not confined to our army alone.
