The consulted sources do not preserve a traditional origin story for Aloja. The only direct folkloric attestation in the provided material is a Wikipedia disambiguation entry that lists 'Aloja (mythology), mythical creatures in Catalan legends' without further narrative. Separately, a modern design brief (LovelyPackage) treats Aloja as a sea-associated goddess in a creative/product context; this contemporary description does not provide a traditional origin myth and should not be taken as an ethnographic account.
Folklore describes aloges as feminine, often small and innocent in aspect, prized for a dreamlike beauty. They are nocturnal and are said to have shimmering gold or red hair and emerald or deep-blue eyes, wear fine rich clothes, and enjoy viewing their reflections in lake surfaces on full-moon nights. Some accounts say some aloges possess wings of various colours and that many are said to carry magic wands carved from hazel (presented in the sources as a traditional material associated with spellcasting).
Legend attributes to aloges great longevity (not immortal but able to live for thousands of years while retaining youth), the power to appear as or turn into water blackbirds, and influence over the behaviour of water — e.g., lakes where dones d'aigua bathe are said in legend to 'boil in anger' if a stranger enters them. Socially they may marry humans under conditions (commonly secrecy about her identity); breaking such conditions causes the aloja to leave and to take her fortune. While often characterised as 'good women' who symbolize fertility and can bring wealth and well-being, contact with humans is also described as potentially ill‑fated for the human participants.
*Perkʷūnos
*Perkʷūnos is the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European thunder‑god hypothesized by comparative linguistics and mythology. Scholarly reconstructions portray him as a storm or thunder figure associated with fructifying rain and as the combatant who fights a multi‑headed water‑serpent to release life‑giving waters; no direct attestations from the Proto‑Indo‑European period survive and the figure is inferred from later Indo‑European traditions.
*Péh₂usōn (reconstructed)
Péh₂usōn is a hypothetical Proto‑Indo‑European pastoral guardian reconstructed by comparative scholars from parallels in Greek and Vedic traditions. Proposed as a Graeco‑Aryan ancestor‑figure, the reconstruction describes a protector of flocks, roads, and travellers rather than an attested historical cultic personality.
