Wadd

THE ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE THAT RESOLVED, AND IT RESOLVED TO THE WRONG KEY. The Sabaean Wadd was already held; the Qur'anic Wadd of the Kalb was not. That is the fourth sweep failure mode this programme named two lanes ago, in its third consecutive tradition.

• cross tradition counterpart of: WaddNon-symmetric, written from this end only; sabaean_wadd is a pre-existing record under the Sabaean key and this batch mutates none. FOUND BY THE SWEEP: 'Wadd' already resolved in the corpus — to the SOUTH ARABIAN moon-god of the Sabaean pantheon. This record is the NORTH ARABIAN Wadd of Kalb and Dumat al-Jandal, the one named in Qur'an 71:23, held under its own key as the registry already holds Allat and Manat under both the Arabian and Nabataean keys.Reference treatment of the five idols of Qur'an 71:23: Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq and Nasr are the five idols Noah's people were urged not to abandon. Islamic sources assign them to tribes: Wadd was worshipped by Kalb, Suwa' by Hudhayl, Yaghuth by Murad, Ya'uq by Hamdan and Nasr by Himyar. In more detail: Wadd was the god of the Banu Kalb ibn Wabara, a branch of the Quda'a, whose shrine was built at Dumat al-Jandal; Suwa' was the goddess of the Hudhayl and her idol was a female figure; Yaghuth was the god of An'um, a branch of Tayy, and of some branches of Madhhij; and Ya'uq was the god of Khaywan, a branch of Hamdan, in the territory of Hamdan in the Yemen. The commentators say that Wadd was worshipped in the form of a man, Suwa' in that of a woman, Yaghuth in that of a lion, Ya'uq in that of a horse and Nasr in that of an eagle.
