Sometimes incidents seem to give names to streets as well, such as "Fire Street," "Flood Street," "the street of the Six Raped Slaves," and so on. There seems to be a natural development, in many cases, from an unnamed but familiar street, to a street which is usually thought of under a given description, to a street which finally receives a name in a fairly ordinary sense. For example, "the street where the Initiates have their temple" is not unlikely to become "Temple Street"; "the street where you can find the brewery" may well become "Brewery Street," and so on. For example, one would expect, eventually, that the street where Tesias wrote such and such a poem, or set of poems, such as, say, the Oracles of the Talender, will become more simply something like "Tesias Street" or even, as Tesias himself might have preferred, "Talender Street".
