Three East Slavic texts mention the Slavic God Stribog, whose religion may have also flourished in Poland. The roles of the God are not mentioned in the scriptures, but in modern times he is most frequently seen as a wind divinity who bestows wealth. Stribog, according to Roman Jakobson, comprises the stem stri-, which is descended from the Proto-Slavic verb *sterti, which is only attested with suffixes and means — to extend, to spread, to widen or to disperse. The Hindu counterpart of Slavic Striborg, the Wind God Vayu, serves as evidence of his connection to wind. The Vedic pair of Bhaga and Amça or the Greek pair of Aisa and Poros are related with the pair of Dazhbog and Stribog. The most common accepted etymology is this hypothesis. Some academics believe that Stribog may have originated as an appellation that meant —Father God— in the religions of the Indo-Europeans and was used to refer to the god of the clear sky. Stribog is positioned in the first group of the so-called trifunctional hypothesis, which organizes the major deities who oversee the population and the distribution of resources, by reconstructing the Proto-Indo-European phrase for God Father. Therefore, Stribog might possibly be the Slavic sky god as well. Although this derivation has been supported by a number of academics, most linguists often disagree with it. Stribog primarily appeared in the Primary Chronicle of the 12th century among other deities that Vladimir the Great had statues built for, such as Perun, Khors, Dazhbog, Simargl and Mokosh.
