Ummmm... I don't think that Ernalda is acknowledged by any maintstaim Yelm worshipper as anything other than a foreign goddess. Check out GRoY if you can. According to the Dara Happans, Yelm is a very chaste emperor, having relations with only his lawful wife Dendara.

Yelmalions believe that Ernalda is the wife of Yelmalio, but they are really nothing more than loopy and presumptious Elmal worshippers.

Probably (although I think it depends on the Lunar cult). Although it may turn out in the Hero Wars that such a statement is not entirely true.
