Except that we have the data point that Tolat and Shargash are the same god and which will be used in the generation of the appropriate myth. Hence my belief in certainty.

Look back at GD v08 #512 and you'll see that I have been proposing this (with Lodril as an unrecognized-by-the- God-Learner Great God of "Male Earth").

Nope. That involved Ernalda as being identified as being She Who Waits of the Seven Mothers (as She Who Waits was a pre-Harmast title for her).

Look at the Yelmalio cult writeup now up at www.glorantha.com and the Elmal cult writeup in Storm Tribe and point out the "extremely close similarity of religious practice". As somebody else pointed out, the Elmali were introducing Dara Happan practices in their Elmali worship.
