Abstract
This article deals with the identity and characteristics of the consort of Father Sky, ·dieus ph2ter. While the pair Sky and Earth is often referred to as Bull and Cow, ·diuo-h3n(h2)-íh2r "Mrs. Sky" is typically represented by a divine spring. It is claimed that Greek Evpánri and Vedic urūci, from a proto-form ·h]urhu-h3kwíh2'wide-eyed', is an old epithet of the Divine Cow = the Earth, and further that the springs are the receivers of the rain/semen from Father Sky/the Heavenly Bull.
