Usage notes
The name of the Indo-European sky god, equivalent to Jupiter/Zeus, has been used metonymically to refer to the weather since Old Lemizh. From Early New Lemizh times onwards, this word is used exclusively to describe the weather (both fair and rough). It is also found compounded in the name of a weekday.
The planet Jupiter, as well as the god, is called djeipysrÌd. in Modern Lemizh.
