I mean I've spent time studying occult stuff, so I guess pretty much the trope codifier.

From an old edition of the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge:
An airplane's tire will hydroplane at a speed in knots equal to 9 times the square root of the tire pressure in PSI. So if your tires are inflated to 36 PSI, sq.rt 36 = 6 * 9 = 54 knots. If there is standing water on the runway, you will have no braking authority or steering control from the wheels, you will have to maintain control of the aircraft with the flight controls, and you cannot rely on short field stopping figures from the POH if it requires applying brakes above 54 knots.
I got that out of the 2003 edition; I don't know if it's in the current issue.
I'm Western esotericism, names have power beyond simply being signifiers for the thing they represent- they embody some part of the thing they represent. The word "fire" contains some intrinsic "fire-ness" but not the whole picture. After all, everyone has different names for the same thing. It is thought that everything has a "true name" that perfectly encapsulates all things about it in their entirety, and this true name could be found by intense study, meditation, or etymology. The Bible pays a lot of attention to names in this way. Adam, the first man, names all the animals. Genesis pays a lot of attention to the names of places, and a lot of stories in Genesis are essentially folk etymologies of locations. God's own name is of special importance, and its meaning was revealed to Moses by the Burning Bush. Even today Jews believe that even saying God's name is powerful and dangerous and that only the High Priest would be allowed to say it once every year during Yom Kippur. Jewish folklore says that even this name is merely a part of God's true name, and that Moses pronounced a longer more complete form of The Name to part the Red Sea, and some systems hold that there are even longer and even more complete forms that have been known to rabbis in the past.
