The Ewe high god is most often the dual pair Mawu-Lisa, frequently elided into the single name Mawu (glossed by some Ewe as 'maa-wu-wo', 'he/she who will not kill you'). Distinct from Fon Vodun in that Ewe usage emphasizes Mawu as a near-monotheistic supreme being and frames the thunder vodu as So/Sogbo rather than the Fon Xevioso. Typed deity (high creator).
