Gran Ezili
Haitian Vodou · deity · Haitian Vodou traditional religion; continuing · Recorded classification
The source places her in the Rada nation, as it places Ezili Freda, and contrasts both with the Petwo Ezili Dantò whom the corpus already holds. THE RECORD DOES NOT EXPAND ON THE NAME: gran carries both 'great' and 'old' in Haitian Creole and the retrieved treatment does not say which is meant, so the etymology records the ambiguity instead of resolving it.
