minus-square@TechLichlink10•6 months agoI think the idea is that he thought she was confused by what he had said. “What are they called?” meaning “what are the words for them?” Not “what are their names?” Like he was quizzing her on her English or something. He was a about to correct her like “no no, I meant what are their names?”
