Description:
The term 'kiput' refers to a god or deity, or to the monotheistic God. It is an Old Common word, but little used in the original context of the screenshow. It competed with 'Teus' from Latin 'Deus' during the late early and middle periods, but 'kiput' was settled as the sole word for god by the modern period and 'Teus' is no longer found.
The modifier form 'kiputys' is used to mean godly, holy, sacred or divine. The inverse, 'ikkíputys', means unholy or profane.
The derived forms ikkíputfisa and ikkíputfisaka, respectively, mean atheism and atheist. The borrowed word 'azeos' was popular in the early and middle periods, but fell out of use in the modern period. 'Azeos' still has dialectical use.
