I'm of the opinion Ardra's "incarnations" were of mixed sex. A satan (in
the strictly Hebrew sense of the word) may take many forms, and
since {veqlargh} is anologous to "demon" in english, the female
interpretation may have more than a little validity. :-) Do we know if
{veqlargh} refers to a singular being or one of many or both? IOW, can we
have {veqlarghpu'} [knockers, gnomes, redcaps, hobgoblins, and other
mischievous/malignant sprites]?
