Verification failed
edit- This statement:
Sourced to Mallory and Adams (2006) but with no page number. I cannot verify this. They say:PriHyéh₂, is reconstructed as “beloved, friend”, the god(dess) of the garden.
Page 222.PIE *prihxós ‘dear, beloved’, i.e. ‘of the same household
Page 208. Repeated page 343. So "friend" is used euphemistically. It is not reconstructed as this. It is derived from the reconstructed *prihxós, but means wife (see also table, page 207), with a coloration of beloved. Nowhere do Mallory and Adams call her a goddess of the garden, nor suggest that she is a PIE goddess at all. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:15, 13 August 2024 (UTC)The word *prihxeha- ‘wife’ is almost a term of endearment as it derives from *prihxós ‘be pleasing, one’s own’ (see above) and it provides the wife of the Germanic god Oðinn with a name, e.g. ON Frigg (cf. also ON frī ‘beloved, wife’, OE frēo ‘woman’, Skt priyā´ - ‘wife’).
- This statement
is also sourced to Mallory and Adams. They do not say this. They do not even mention Parvati or the Purulli festival. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)She is known in Hittite as the object of the Purulli festival, in Sanskrit as Parvati.
- This statement also referenced to the same source:
It is not in the source. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk)In Avestan, she is demonized as Paurwa, but replaced by Anahita.
- In the section "A 'TENTATIVE’ EVIDENCE FOR THE INDO-EUROPEAN PANTHEON" starting on page 267 of Witzcak & Kaczor (1995) Linguistic evidence for Proto-Indo-European pantheon [1] they actually say:
Page 274. So they do tentatively posit a god(dess), but the name is different. This is the only source on the page that I have found so far that actually posits a name at all, and it is highly speculative.Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC)(34) Prëwyā (f.) / Prëwyos (m.)
