From ancient cult to modern Unicode

Common questions about Trengtreng, Thunder, War, and Unicode restoration
The original form Trengtreng preserves phonetic distinctions that plain trengtreng cannot show.
Trengtreng means Mapuche thunder and war god in the incan tradition.
Plain ASCII trengtreng strips the stress, length, and script that make the name specific. Unicode restoration returns the name to its original written dignity.
Mapuche tradition tells of a primordial deluge sent by the water spirit Cai-Cai Vilu. To save the people, the thunder spirit Pillan raised high mountains: Trengtreng and Kai-Kai became refuges above the floodwaters. Those who reached the heights survived; the myth thus links volcanic peaks to ancestry, rescue, and the division of the world.
