Lead story

The word is still in the mouth: Perëndi, Perëndia — God, the high, the sky named as address. Early translators of scripture preferred other compounds; later books and everyday speech keep this one. When rain is wanted, a song may set Perëndi beside Dielli and Ilia without handing any of them a marble genealogy. Scholars open drawers: strike-and-sky, sunset-and-rule, Latin calques — each disputed. What the house knows without a handbook is simpler: the name that means God, the oath that looks up, the stone that fell with lightning kept for a heavier be. The Alps keep other names for the hail traveler.

Region

Pan-Albanian living God/sky/heaven lexeme. Old Albanian from late 16th–17th c.; absent in Buzuku (Zot-compounds preferred). Rainmaking and oath contexts as abstract deity noun — not a regional hail-person map.

Linked stories

Shurdh hail traveler — Alps clusterReconstructed
Storm figure rides hail clouds; turned by metal, noise, gunshots, outdoor brands (zjarr grammar). Absorbs I Verbti (Zadrima fire–wind) and Rmoria (Shala) as dialect map. Soft edges Zojz/Perëndi/Enji/Ilia/Drangue — no identity merge. Not pan-Albanian Zeus.
Rain braid — Ilia · Dielli · PerëndiReconstructed
SW / pan rainmaking (thirrja e shiut) may set Shën Ilia beside Dielli and Perëndi in one breath. Ritual co-presence, not identity proof and not a marble triad. Perëndi stays essay/God-word; Dielli stays solar spine; Ilia stays Christian weather absorber. Soft edges only to Shurdh/Zojz — never ‘three names one Zeus.’
Oath by thunder-stone (guri i rejës)Reconstructed
Sky-fallen stones kept in houses as luck objects; heavy oath by the stone that fell with the strike. Alias-only object cult under zojz#thunder-stones — no personhood page.
Arbëresh weekday sacral residueReconstructed
Arbëresh keeps e enjte / e premte / e diel / e hënë forms as calendar fossils. Densify as lexicon edges to enji/prende/dielli/hena — not new Italian Olympians. Creature loans (karkanxholi etc.) stay B/region swarm.
