McCreery is looking for illiterate foundational myths which are
_word_-related.
How about Parmenides's poem. In Antiquity it had the status of a myth, and
it's all about the primacy of the Logos, which was incidentally, the word used
to translate the Gospel ("Verbum" in the Vulgate). Talking of which, it
wouldn't hurt to trace the root of 'verbum' in the online Short/Lewis.
Cheers
