Upper Sky Father
Mansi · deity · primordial · deity
Spirit-class sky-father (classed as deity). This is the Mansi (Vogul) form of the same Ob-Ugric high god authored under the Khanty label as Num-Torum; both are included with the proper tradition labels per the brief, sharing the num/numi 'upper' + torum 'sky/god' etymology and the Munkácsi (Mansi) vs Karjalainen (both) source base.
