Dyaus Pita

This corpus holds `greek_hesiod_zeus` and `roman_iuppiter`, and it did not hold the third member of that set — the one whose name is closest to the reconstructed original and which is the reason the other two are known to be related. NO cross-tradition edge is drawn, on the rule this programme has applied in every lane: a shared etymology is a fact about traditions and not a relation between beings. It is, though, the single most consequential such fact in comparative mythology, and a registry indexing 560 traditions ought at least to hold all three ends of it. Now it does.
