However, he says that Famulimus appeared to\nbe the one who looked after reputation (fama).  It looked to me more\nlike it came from famulus (servant).  However, this name doesn't seem\nto go with the growing up aspects of the other two.  There is also no\ngod I can find with this name or by-name.  However, there is a god\nnamed Fabulinus who is in charge of teaching a child to speak his\nfirst word, which goes along with the functions of the other two. \nAlso, Wolfe made his Famulimus speak in free verse, so I think he made\na mistake in remembering (without having his notes) the role of\nFamulimus.  However, I don't know if he just made a mistake in the\nname or if Famulimus is an alternate or dialectal name for Fabulimus. \nCan anyone help?\n\nprion"
