H₂weh₁yú

H₂weh₁-yú is believed to be a god who controls the wind. He came from Proto Indo European Mythology and many cultures have gods that came from him. His name comes from the Proto-Indo-European word for "blow". In some traditions, he is shown as two gods who control different types of wind. Other cultures have similar gods, with names like Vayu-Vāta and Vāyu. The god is also linked to the idea of giving and taking breath, which connects him to life and death. Many Indo-European languages have words for wind that come from the same root as H₂weh₁-yú including the English wind.
