DEMIGOD: a hero of the heroic-genealogy stratum, not a god. Entered male / immortal / mythic-prehistoric. SOLITARY: his named kin (father Hema, twin Karihi, grandmother Kuhi/Kui) are thinly-developed name-level figures not authored in this batch, so no in-batch kin edge is asserted. Cognate with Maori Tawhaki, Tahitian Tafa'i, Hawaiian Kaha'i (noted, not identity).
