Usage notes

See xàps. for the associated weekday.

This is the head of the polytheistic religion’s pantheon in the Lemizh denomination. Other denominations such as Greek and Ethiynic mainly differ in gods’ names, holidays, and other details. Polytheism in Europe goes back to PIE times, making its gods cognate to our Graeco-Roman pantheon. It is one of three major religions on this continent, the others being an atheism of Ghean heritage and a monotheism which is distantly related to Judaism.
