In that case perhaps we need a different word? Because as an Orlanth initiate I can become part of the myths and prove them true or untrue. I do it as part of every holy day or heroquest.
Alternatively we could just accept that in conventional English myth has acquired a particular loading which isn't applicable when talking about Glorantha.
