I don't think any right-thinking Praxians would care much about Pentan cosmology. IMG the Four Winds of Prax are

Rain Wind       West; Orlanth
Chill Wind      North; Valind
Rage Wind       East; Stormbull
Sick Wind       South; Malia

        "As i stood at the end of the world, south of Sog's Ruins, i saw
the endless plains of waves and i saw the unholy place where the sea had mingled with the earth, and i was filled with dread. An ill wind blew upon me and it felt like i had been slapped in the face with a cloth drenched in warm pus. The Sea can never be a friend of Waha's."

The Sick Wind blows from Bleak and Defender's Shore which are filled with nasty bugs, parasites and mosquitos that are blown into Prax with the clinging, vaporous winds from the Sea. The bugs eat the crops, the parasites infest the animals and mosquitos curse men with sickness.

Malia was a lover of the Ill Wind, Ragnaglar, so it's not inconceivable that they had a child called Sick Wind.
