The casual reader requires a "Enbaklava, who the hill barbarians call Humakt" to avoid being confounded.

When I will add the finalized spelling(s) to my index, it will probably only appear as another synonym for Humakt. Although with the current trend, a list of names for a deity with region and circumstances attached probably ought to be a feature.
