This riddle has puzzled me:
Name the thing that is so flimsy that it breaks even by saying its name.
I have gone through the many things, but nothing fits this riddle. I would appreciate any help.

The answer is
Silence
So flimsy that it breaks even by saying its name
Once one utters the word "silence" one has broken any existing silence.

Nothing
Just a random idea.
When you say "Nothing", there is no longer nothing; there is now something (your voice). Just a random idea; inspired when you said "nothing fits to this riddle"
