Creating Alamoa redirect to [[mermaid#Alamoa]] possibly not much more than stub using [[WP:RS]] material evident to me as of now.

The Great Snake character redirected to Bazhov's story "[[The Great Snake]]", his stories, including sequels being the sole real source.

Kiyoweap moved page [[Thorvald Konradsson]] to [[Thorvald Kodransson]]: Misspelled: The father named Kodran also figures in his story, so "Kodransson" is obviously the correct spelling

/*Earlier rites*/ 18th century descriptions given by [[Médéric Louis Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry|Moreau de Saint-Méry]] of Haitian vodou snake cult ceremonies (initiation) initiates receive equivalent of ''[[Paquet congo|pacquet congo]]'' (restored mention of this term)

Vetting&Restructure overhaul. Failed verif use of lawal 2008 (some repl. with maki2008 in same journal). Dambala "benevolent" but not explicitly Rada in cited src., thus issemble needless §Family). Delete [[paquet congo]] (failed verif., probably goes with Mbumba Luangu?Bonba, not here) Bellegarde-Smith (moved to bibl.as citing long article w/o page specification is abusive) /*Creation myth"/ Renamed from §Form and function. /*World-bearing animal myth*/ Added

/*Rainbow Snake*/Zulu version of rainbow snake: the rainbow um-nyama said to be sheep-like and dwell in deep pool (callaway1868), discussed (via Haarhoff (1890) by Frobenius), but apparently misspelt as "Umugarna" by Propp.

/*Raibows as bow to be thrown*/ In Ghana's Akan folklore, rainbow ([[Asante Twi]]: nyankontɔn) means [[Nyankapon-Nyame-Odomankoma|Nyanke-Nyankopon]]'s bow(groh1922) i.e. "Sky God's bow" (rattray1923) and likewise in Ashanti language (frazer1926) This bow is not used as arrow-shooter, but rather the Sky God casts the bow, or the bow casts itself and wrap around into a circular rainbow halo (called kontonkurowie)

/*Rainbow snake*/ (subsection "African diasporic religion") Delete Ashanti parallel as dubious. Ashanti rainbow being "Sky god's bow is probably related to Ewe people's sky god Mawu (i.e., master of Ewe people's rainbow snake) pointed out by Frazer citing Ellis

{{efn}} annotation: additonal commentary on snake/python coiled pottery of ewe, though only vaguely connected with "rainbow of death" (cole&ross1977)

/*Development of concept*/ citing Radcliffe-Brown doesnt show he coined the term (add {{harvp|Maddock|1978a|p=3}}: "..Radcliffe-Brown, with whom it all began.. [his] first paper on the subject". Insert Radcliffe-Brown's calling it "practically universal" myth. Mountford uses "myths" plural in title, toned down excessive [[WP:OR]] extrapolation on this. Delete Stanner without page citation: does not seem to speak of rainbow serpent, norse, greco-roman upon google check

map kooremah, add and map kurrea, reorder "Other names" closer matched to map location /*See also*/Reformat, use {{annotated link}}, add *bilumbra (not listed, though Mountford counts it)

/*Etymology*/ It occured to me the word must be from Irish críol, and this is at least citable to a 2006 [[Hiberno-English]] dictionary defining "creel" as a "wicker basket to transport turf". FYI on Arthur C. L. Brown attempting to use criol as etymology of graal.

/*Nomenclature */ Relist Westphalian names referenced to Mackensen's "Drache" HdA article and his source Sartori1929 (though given in §Physical description, cites Weiser-Aall's "Kobold" HdA article) Herbrand (Heerbrand (in Grimm's Woerterbuch) lit.

Remove Alrun from list (to {{efn}}) since the citation is Weiser-Aall's "Kobold" article which states only that Drak and Alrun are kobolds with dragon type names, so it is an extension to completely equate these; alos Alrun not listed in not included by Mackensen's "Drache" article or mapped on 2020 map for "drak" aliases.
