message: thanks for the extension, Hier0phant, it's an interesting read; since your reference is not very accessible, I guess we'll have to take your word that all your info was taken from Belaj. dab (ᛏ) 09:39, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

message: How is it logical that "wool" would be related to horned cattle? Cattle don't have wool, as far as I understand it. This assertion, in the etymology section, makes no sense to me, and needs explanation. Fuzzypeg☻ 00:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wool and cattle? 

message: I move a section which appears problematic here:
:Firstly, he is mentioned in peace treaties of early 10th century between Rulers of Kievan Rus' and Byzantine emperors, where the Slavs make an oath of peace by swearing upon their gods, Perun and Volos. 
The primary chronicle was written in the 12th century, and instead of "Slavs", it talks of Norsemen called Karl, Farulf, Vermund, Hrollaf, and Steinvith. This source notes that Volos was presumably a translation of a Norse god from the Greek original. Most likely the Greek original used the name of a Greek god in that place, see Interpretatio graeca. Since the removed section is completely unreferenced, and I find it a bit off-topic to discuss the custom of Interpretatio graeca, I think the text should be removed until a working non-OR suggestion is provided for how to treat it in the article.--Berig (talk) 14:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: 4/6 of the See Also links on this page when I made this Discussion page edit had no legitimate relevance to this wiki page and no reason for anyone looking up this god to be interested. 3/4 were about unrelated gods from peoples without relation to the Slavic race. The fourth is also simply not another version of the same god, though is of a more closely related people (Norse). And, two of the three from unrelated peoples are from India, just how unrelated were they trying to get away with? Who would look up Slavic gods and decide they want to learn all about Indian gods instead? Absurd. I'm thinking whoever put those four links in must have been high.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.98.51.63 (talk) 02:37, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: hey, just a reader here, but i did note in several of the slavic gods' entries a connection through lineage to Vedic origins in the Indo-European tradition. perhaps that's why the links are there. and maybe i'm more curious than the average cat but I'd be into reading about those linkages. 64.223.106.77 (talk) 01:37, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
