Bhaga
Hindu · deity · vedic · Recorded classification
The name is the ancestor of the Slavic word for god — bogъ, which stands in Dazhbog, Stribog, Chernobog and Belobog, all of which this corpus holds after lane 14 — and it means 'portion' on both sides, a god being originally a distributor of shares. That is stated here because the registry now holds both ends of it, and it is stated as a philological fact and not as an edge.
