Yelm tried to contain the New Thing by giving it the name Entekos ("right air"). But the New Thing did not accept that name and what is called Entekos by the Dara Happans is something else.

And this is important: Entekos, the white planetary goddess, and Umath the Rebel, who rampaged through the Perfect Sky, were not the same entity. That's something known and acknowledged by everyone in Glorantha who is capable of seeing both entities (they appeared in the sky at the same time during the Golden Age).
