Prove
Slavic · deity · pantheon era · deity
The domains array holds one entry and it describes the cult rather than a sphere, because Helmold gives a place, a tree, a fence and a negative — no idol — and no function whatever. Writing him up as a god of law on the strength of a contested etymology would be inventing a sphere out of a guess about a name, which this programme does not do. What he is, on the evidence, is a god known by where he was worshipped.
