[Footnote 10: Sexual side of fire-cult; whirlwind of fire, M[=a]tariçvan, Schwartz, KZ. xx. 202; compare Hillebrandt, ZDMG. xxxiii. 248.]
[Footnote 11: Neisser's Vorvedisches im Veda, BB. xvii. 244, is not a mythological study.]
[Footnote 12: Apollon here is Saparye[n.]ya, 'worshipful.' This derivation is attacked by Froehde, Apollon, BB. xix. 230 (compare Fick, ib. xviii. 138), who derives Apollon from [Greek: phellhôn), 'word,' comparing (Greek: hapellhaxein), 'conciliare,' pell being 'spell (in Gospel, etc.), 'inter-pellare.' Thus Apollo would be 'prophet,' 'wârspello.' On vahni, Agni, compare Neisser, Vedica, BB. xviii. 301 (xix. 120, 248).]
[Footnote 13: Oldenberg, loc. cit., interprets Açvins as morning and evening stars! The epithet (of Agni and Açvins) bhura/n.]yu has been equated with Phor[=o]neus, we forget by whom.]
[Footnote 14: Oldenberg's (Die Religion des Veda) Old-Man-of-theMountains-Indra thus gets etymological support.]
[Footnote 15: For convenience included in this list.]
[Footnote 16: Maspiter is Mars-pater.]
[Footnote 17: Hirt equates Parjanya, Perkunas, Fjörgyn, as originally epithet of Dy[=a]ns-Zeus, with [Greek: phêgotaios), the 'Oak-god.' See also Zimmer, ZDA. vii. (19) 164.]
