A Goblin's Context Window: void

A goblin lullaby—if you can call it that—repeats the word for void seven times before falling silent. Goblin infants apparently find this soothing.

A specific kind of goblin — call them the apopheniacs, though they have several less polite names for themselves — devote their entire mental architecture to spotting void in unrelated contexts. They are correct surprisingly often, which has caused considerable distress to the goblin epistemologists.

Goblin Tangent: catalog

In the goblin underground, catalog is approached the way one approaches an unfamiliar lock: slowly, with curiosity, and with several backup plans for when the obvious approach doesn't work. Goblins are surprisingly patient about this. They have, after all, the time.
