| Notes 1 | The Nuatic name for the entity we would call God is actually not a name at all. In literal translation, the word Fantaaph means "Nameless". The reason for this has to do with the idea shared by many cultures that naming something gives you power over it. The God-figure in Thalanism (the native religion of Nuata) is thought to be so far above humans that it would be arrogant to try to name it. Note there the use of the pronoun "it" - Fantaaph is also thought to be above gender, a concept easily expressed in a language with neuter pronouns. |
