The elaboration of individuality and ownership, as linked concepts in Saami culture, can be juxtaposed with the limited inventory of acceptable personal names, these also subject to extrinsic national regulation. While the latter inventory of personal names leads to ambiguity in naming, the former concepts are predicated on an individual's absolute, unique identity. In the course of early experience, an individual passes from "being labeled" to "being," and this sense of identity is attained through the acquisition of significant traits, including one or more nicknames, a chant, and a bearing, which are viewed as possessions. A dynamic between ambiguity and redundancy emerges from linguistic and behavioral systems having parallels in other domains, such as ethnonyms and ethnoecology. Indeed, underlying all codes are attitudes toward names and labels which explain, from the standpoint of the culture-bearer, some of the difference between uninteresting transparent labels and attractive opaque names.
