His legend is evidently of pagan origin, and Thenna is perhaps connected with Tydein, a Druidical Apollo. The story of his ark is common in Semitic, Greek, and Persian mythology (see Moses); his mother appears as Cemeda, Then at, Thanes, and in Wales as Dwyenwen, among Keltik go de es. The spire of St Enoch’s once rose alone in the great square where is now the great railway station of that name (see Davies, Brit. Druids, p. 1938). Munin.

Arabic: “the digger and the hewer”; two black angels who according to Moslems visit, and examine, the dead in the grave, which they open.

But if the soul is impious, these angels beat the corpse with clubs, till the cries of the dead can be heard by living believers; but, though of equal importance to them, unbelievers and Jinns never hear these cries, [The sume idea of an angel visiting the dead is found in the Talmud, and in the Hadokht Nask of the Zend Avesta, and this angel in Persia is created by the good thought, word, and deed of the dead man, and leads him to the bridge of heaven, But the evil man, on the third night, is blown to a hell of darkne and mire by a stinking wind, and dwells with Ahriman and his devils—Eb.] Muns.

The Kols are thought to come from A am, which presents however impa able mountains on the north; and Mongolic tribes would more easily congregate at Man asar war, and follow the Sravasti river to the central part of N. India, or might come in by the Brahma-putra valley. The Mundas, or Mundlas, are still numerous in the rocky jungles of Chutia Nagpur and in Mundla, at the sources of the Narbada. This is the centre, of the Baigas, or priestly cla of the Munds and Kols, who have shaven heads, whence Mund is now rendered “ shaven” as a Sanskrit word; but the title is probably older (see Man) and Munda is known as a non-Aryan language (Col.
