The god Gaol

This article makes a very prominent mentions of the wind god Gǎ-oh, but this mention appears as a link piped to Gaol (god), which is a redirect pointing back here. Is Gaol a common, or at least attested, variant of the name of this god? – Uanfala (talk) 01:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I can’t say. At least I can remove the link. All the spellings are inconsistent, depending on how the writer heard the word pronounced. Google seems to turn up a few hits. I believe there was already a dab page for Gaol when I started editing this article. In any case, I have removed the self-reference.Peter Flass (talk) 02:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
