Story paths

Description

Thinner Beauty-family child page (host e_bukura_e_dheut). Solid as named sister in Elsie/Lambertz Baba Tomor legend: Earthly Beauty spends days with sister Sea Beauty; evenings Wind ferries her back up the mountainside. Ontology: tale/sea nymph — not a cult sheet; narrative ownership stays with the legend cycle. Tomor sister solid; independent quest body thin vs Earth Beauty. Temple-fact framing is interpretive Fishta–Lambertz box only; i_bukuri_i_qiellit → dielli/zojz — not a biography here. Epithet overlap (nuse deti / perria e detit / ksheta e detit / Fishta Të Bukurat e Detit) = related figure flocka/perria — no merge without Tirta/Elsie entry-split proof.

Features

  • named sister / day companion of Earthly Beauty in Tomor legend
  • place in interpretive Beauty triad (footnote only)
  • soft nuse deti epithet

Lead story

Daylight belongs to the sea sister. Earthly Beauty leaves Tomorr’s white-beard world and keeps company with E Bukura e Detit — Beauty of the Sea — while the old giant’s winds wait their turn. At evening the Wind lifts the earth bride home up the mountainside. Across the valley Shpirag moves on Berat; the eagles cry; the scythe and cudgel write watercourses into stone; the maiden’s tears become the Osum. That grief is told on the mountain’s page. Here the name that matters is the sister who held the day. Do not build her a Zeus–Poseidon–Hades temple. Keep her distinct from Floçkë at the combing-stones even when a poet once said Të Bukurat e Detit. She is the thinner Beauty — sea refuge in a place-myth — and that is enough for this sheet.

  • While Baba Tomor drowses with Earthly Beauty, rival Shpirag advances on Berat; sisters' tears become the Osum. Landscape duel on Tomorr — not later pilgrimage overlays and not cult-earth oath sheet.

  • Earthly Beauty spends daylight with E Bukura e Detit; evening Wind returns her to Tomor. Coastal/sea being for the map — Tomor place-myth host, not an Ulqin-only mermaid invention.

  • Tirta 2004:134: Ksheta — also Nusja Shapulicë, Nusja e Bukur, Cuca e Liqenit, Nusja e Ujit, Zana e Ujit. Lives in water; combs on the bank; shirt-trap marriage tale. Explicitly NOT Oriental E Bukura e Dheut. Map host = flocka (Elsie Floçkë/Gërshetëza). Not the same as E Bukura e Dheut.; Not the same as E Bukura e Detit. Tomor sister.

  • Beauty triad (earth/sea/sun) is interpretive scholarship only — never Zeus/Poseidon/Hades folk temple fact.

  • Scholarly Fishta–Lambertz heaven–sea–underworld analogy (Earth / Sea / Sky Beauty) is a footnote — NEVER a Zeus/Poseidon/Hades folk temple or three-sibling family of gods novel. i Bukuri i Qiellit → Dielli/Zojz epithet, not C biography.

  • Floçkë / Gërshetëza combs at river banks; E Bukura e Detit is Tomor daytime sister. Fishta ‘Të Bukurat e Detit’ epithet ≠ identity.
