Talk:Aitvaras

Aitvaras vs. kaukas
Perhaps Kaukas should be removed from the "other names" list? According to Julius Greimas, Kaukas is too a household spirit, but associated with earth as element, it brings food (rye) and doesn't bring bad luck, looks like a small man made of mud (?), while Aitvaras is associated with fire as element and brings gold/money (even, according to J.Greimas - transforms gold), but also disease and bad luck.

Though often the two are confused, so perhaps it's ok to leave it in the "other names" list, but edit the article "Kaukas" instead?

Your thoughts?
