General notes | i-vowel in "Kompositionsfuge" is either simply compositional -i- or because the first compound member is a devī-type feminine with the meaning 'Goddess'. The name would thus mean 'born of a Goddess'. Moreover, 'of Godlike origin' or 'known among / by Gods' would be possible translations for the name. |
