Yarovit
Slavic · deity · pantheon era · Recorded classification
No relation is recorded to Jarilo, and the omission is deliberate. The two names share the jar- root, and a connection between them is a standing scholarly proposal — some treatments go as far as making them the same god under a western and an eastern name. It is a proposal. This programme has declined to write edges on proposals in every lane so far, and declines here: the philological observation belongs in this note, and the relations array stays empty. He carries a verified-solitary verdict instead, which states the same thing in the place the corpus checks.
