Moon

Enga · deity · primordial · deity

Enga kana = 'moon' (attested in idiom, e.g. 'niki langapu, kana langapu' — 'cheat the sun, cheat the moon'). The moon as a female sky-power opposite the male sun; rendered deity. Less personified in the literature than Aitawe, hence sparse faculties and secondary weight.
