Vinga is the daughter of Orlanth and Ernalda. I'm sure this is the origin of her square rune. (I'm not sure about the usage of the "Lodril" rune, if that's a coincidence, intentional since she was a spark in the Darkness, or a mistake for her square rune.)

And yes, like all but 10 things in Glorantha, Vinga may well come from Saird.
