In Albanian Perëndi is a word for God and the sky, especially invoked in incantations and songs praying for rain.[1] It is derived from perëndoj "to set (of the sun)" which might be borrowed from Latin parentare "to bring a sacrifice (to the dead), to satisfy" (see Parentalia) or Latin imperantem "ruling" (dielli perëndon "the sun sets", perhaps ultimately a calque on Greek ο ήλιος βασιλεύει "the sun sets", literally "the sun reigns").[2] Others see a connection to Indo-European *perkwu- "thunder god" (see Lithuanian Perkūnas).[1] He is the consort of Prende.[citation needed]
