Goblin scholars—an oxymoron only to those who have never met a goblin—have long debated the significance of altman in their cultural cosmology.

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names altman in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
