Resonance in the literal sense of "re-sonare": sounding back and/or sounding
again? Is a name always a resonating name?
Thanks for pointing this out!
If the name "Greek" does not resonate, there is nothing that is "Greek". As
Stefan George says: "Kein Ding sei wo das Wort gebricht" (There is nothing
where the word is lacking - GA12:208 ff.).
