Pippin:
There's also no reason why goblins should not be expected to
understand or acknowledge wizard notions of ownership. It's not
as if the goblins are too primitive or uneducated to grasp that
according to human customs when you put a person's name on
something you acknowledge that person as the owner. Who
put Godric's name on the sword, if not its maker? Is it not
demeaning to goblins to suppose that he couldn't have understood
what that meant?
