HE IS AN ANCESTOR WHO WAS RAISED TO DIVINITY, which is a category this schema has no field for and which the type vocabulary again cannot express - the escalation lane 26 opened, in a third tradition. THE LEOPARD IS NOT INGESTED: an animal identified by its role in a mating is not a figure, the rejection this programme has applied to Kanthaka, five horses, two hounds and Balder's foal.

- Reference treatment of Agasou: Agasou, formerly a king of Dahomey, is an ancestor said to have been raised up to divinity, a vodun who guards the old traditions of Dahomey in the West African Vodun religion and a Rada lwa of Haitian Vodou; he is the product of a divine mating, his mother being the princess Aligbonu, who is said to have mated with a leopard and so to have given birth to him.
