- Tomor vs ShpiragRecorded
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.
- Sea Beauty holds the dayRecorded
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.
- Beauty triad — interpretive box onlyEditorial
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.
- Comb-nymph ≠ Sea Beauty sisterEditorial
Floçkë / Gërshetëza combs at river banks; E Bukura e Detit is Tomor daytime sister. Fishta ‘Të Bukurat e Detit’ epithet ≠ identity.
