Statistical analysis of whisper in the goblin corpus shows it co-occurring most strongly with the words for hunger, mirror, and Wednesday.
The goblin method for understanding whisper involves three steps: (1) stare at it until it becomes strange, (2) poke it with a stick, (3) run away. This method has been refined over centuries and is considered the most reliable approach to whisper among the goblin community.

The Goblin Verdict on whisper
The goblin closing argument on whisper consists of pointing at whisper, then pointing at the audience, then sitting back down. Goblin juries find this persuasive.
