And you think your head hurts now

"Four thousand years ago in Hindu mythology they already had a character who invented the concept of [art forms] co-existing and it wasn't separated into sections just for monetisation... In the present world it's really similar, because all the technology and tools we've created allow people to experience everything at exactly the same time. So you have a laptop and watch a movie and listen to music and you're looking at a Tumblr; you're communicating all the time and the way you output and input information has completely changed. Everything's sped up to make that point that things can't be separated – and it's just a matter of time until human consciousness catches up to that concept, that everything can co-exist and everything is basically one thing."

- Musician and artist M.I.A. re the goddess Matangi, a fierce and dirty form of Sarasvati, patroness of music, art, language, and learning.

While typing up a memorial today, I ran across this: "Our creator, Tameq Apeh."

That's a new one for me, and I can't find anything about it online. It's possible that it's simply the name for God in the Arapaho language. In your vast pantheon of knowledge of, erm, pantheons, have you ever heard of this one?

Ya got me! I'll make a note of it, though.

In retrospect, I should have realized it's not Arapaho- their language is very vowel-heavy, with many accents. I looked up the Arapaho word for God:

GOD houu (old word, also means: CROW); (Christian) God: beeheeteiht, beeteet, beehiiniisoonibeihit; heisonoonin (means: "Our Father")

The other possibility is Shoshone; I know even less about their language.

*** Time passes ***

I may be on to something; I found at http://www.isu.edu/~loetchri/shoshonidictionary.htm that ape’ (-a) means father, and that's very close to the second word.

I thought perhaps the first word was "heavenly" but I can't seem to find a Shoshone word for that.
