Yes, though for some of us it's not always clear what category a god/spirit/deity falls into. Okay, Orlanth, great god, check, no question. Ernalda, yup. Okay, Humakt, big or great? If he's Great, is Zorak Zorak? Kyger Litor's a Great Spirit; does this mean her "aspects" in the form of her children are Big or Great Spirits?
*I'd* say Great, Great and Big, but I'm not sure all narrators would see it the same way. I suspect there'd be a certain process of Deity Inflation ("Well, Zorak Zoran is Great, so I want Karrg to be Great, since in my game they're kinda equal. So that means Vaneekara should be Great, because she's roughly equal to Karrg. But that means Vinga...").
