Shared words: Knowest thou the meaning of the

The formula 'Knowest thou the meaning of the' — the exact shared substring, completed by a different object each time — recurs in both symbol-interpretation exchanges of the vision. 11:21: 'Knowest thou the meaning of the tree which thy father saw?' 13:21: 'Knowest thou the meaning of the book?' The quoted phrase is the exact shared substring preceding the differing object in each verse.
