p. 70 when the guardian of the door of heaven kicked them down thence, Delonokn Utak & Delonokn Payakn fell, died, and became Selebintik Buntukn Bentas & Lenau Bulau Bukn Natakn.
p. 70 Benciakn, brother of Lan~akn, then returned to Batu> Galakn Nayu>. Would this place-name be associated with Naga> Galakn Tana>, place of Ilokn (= Iloko of Luzon?)? |
Naga> Galakn Tana> is paired (Temputn, p. 58) with (volcano) Mentiyalikn, place of Bontik (= Bontok Igorot of Luzon?) [volcanoes are abodes of souls of the dead, in Solomon is.] |
cf. (volcano, GM 75.6) Khimaira of (GM 75.b) king Io-bates; king Io-bates being allied (GM 73.a) with Proitos [= Skt. preta "unborn soul"] the human father of Perseus. |
As a composite animal Khimaira (GM 75.b), or as a composite-animal-style pirates' ship Kheimarrhos (GM 75.d), the connection with preta ("soul between lives, soul to-become-relinked-to-body") would seem to confirm a Bauddha hypothesis of the composite nature of the soul.

pp. 63-64 the Nayu> Olikn brethren were slain, and their sons Uda> & Bela> were carried off, by the Delonokn brethren. |
Theio-[menes] was slain, and his (Th.-m.'s) son Hulas was carried off, by Hera-klees (GM 143.a). His (Th.-M.'s) successor Plulas was likewise slain Hera-klees (GM 143.b). |
p. 63 the Delonokn brethren despoiled the Nayu> Olikn brethren's corpses [of their heads]. |
Hera-klees and Io-laos then despoiled Kuknos's corpse (GM 143.g). |
p. 66 Benciakn was sympathizer, on account of their fathers' deaths, with Uda> & Bela>. |
Anauros (GM 143.g) was place of chosen by Kehuks as burial-place of Kuknos. |
p. 69 Benciakn was pursued for despoiling the the Delonokn brethren's corpses [of their heads]. |
+Athene had warned Hera-klees not to despoil the corpse of Kuknos (GM 143.g). |
The Benua>, though now in the valley of the Mahakam, hail earlier from the valley of the river TIWai / Tiwe / Tewe (Temputn, p. 1), a tributary to the river Barito. TIW is the Old English (cf. Norse Ty`-r) cognate to [Skt.] DIVas-pati Indra, husband to +DIVA, goddess of riches whose name is aequivalent to the "Minoan Linear B script" goddess +DIWA, ancestress (GM 143.c) to the tribe ruled over by Theio-menes & Phulas. They occupied (GM 143.b) Hermione, a town named for the wife (GM 114.f) of Orestes -- +Hermione is cognate with [Skt.] +Sarama the bitch, wife (according to the Veda) of the dog Sisira, whose name is cognate Sisra> who was murdered treacherously by a woman after he was lured into drinking (S^PTYM 4:19-21), much as Hulas was lured (GM 150.b) underwater by the granddaughter of +Diwa.
