I can buy that.
I have a feeling that at least some of the Molanni/Calm Air you will have found on glorantha.com will be from my deliberately contrary vision of deranged Molanni worshippers who think that Orlanth is the villain and she's the victim. As such they co-opt positive concepts like Calm regardless of who the barbarians imagine may have such things.
Still, I suspect that most peoiple wouldn't draw any distinction between Calm and Still when it comes to the Air, it's a subtley known only to people who study the air in detail.
