which.
and it.
neither.
 For everything has long ago been named from its own nature; and in this way its name shows what it is. Thus man, too, (Adam) is, and ever has been, known from his name, from “adamah,” earth; his name so showing his mortality. If thus he has been made by his Creator, how vain for him to hope to escape his fate, for with Him no contention is possible. (Ecclesiastes 6 by F.C. Jennings)
