High creator-deity. Relationship to Karei is band-variable: Schebesta's Kensiu/Kintaq material pairs Ta Pedn (sky/creator) with Karei (thunder/punisher); elsewhere the two functions merge. Name kept as the attested Semang form 'Ta Pedn' since there is no plain-word English equivalent for the proper name. Latin transcription (unwritten language).
