	Mawu-Lisa \| Encyclopedia of Religion
		Mawu is depicted as an elder female figure in conjunction with Lisa, a younger male consort.
		For example, whereas Mawu is associated with the moon (night) and is cool (gentle and forgiving), Lisa is associated with the sun (day) and is hot (fierce and punitive).
		Lisa is an analogue for the Yoruba oriṣa Ọbatala and is variously described as the twin brother, husband, or son of Mawu.

	Words in Mawu
		Mawu is also a tone language, in the sense that words are distinguished according to their pitch patterns.
		Mawu pronouns in general conspicuously flout the normal syllable structure restrictions of the language, which require syllables (and thus words) to start with a consonant.
		Mawu words can be distinguished by their pitch patterns, and these distinctive pitch patterns are naturally modeled as simple sequences of distinctive high (H) and low (L) tones rather than as arbitrary melodies.

	Ginger Royal - Dance!: Artist Statement
		Before long, the people began to fight among themselves, having forgotten that it was Mawu who had provided them not only with a world to live on, but, more important, with part of herself - the essence of life, their souls, a force called Sekpoli.
		Seeing all this turmoil, Mawu's daughters and grand-daughters set out through the lands of Dahomey to remind people of the wisdom of Mawu and encountered an insolent braggart named Awe, who boasted that he was just as powerful as Mawu.
		Mawu sent him off to explain that only Mawu could breathe the breath of life into people and, lest they value this gift lightly, could suck it out when she chose.
