Pipi

In Hurmu religion, a pipi (Hurmumol plural pipi-ka; in Hurmu Norse it is modernized as pippe, pl. pippar) is a purported deity – purported as the Hurmu religion traditionally does not profess beliefs in deities. As such the word might be translated as "a person – who is real or fictional – that others ascribe supernatural, demonic or divine quality, but who actually is none of that".

In Hurmu's contact with other religions, the word became important as a way for Hurmudans to keep to their own religion, in face of the many Vanir–Æsir mythologies around them, such as the deities in the Storish religion, or the Crandish, Arminian or Slobovian mythologies. The word is excluding – and denying of the respect of divinity that other religions make.

The word pipi was first ascribed to a real human being upon Hurmu's first contact with the Storish tribes in the mid , and then used for Harald, the conqueror of the Heartland, in the 1470s, as a direct denial of his purported divinity – and runestones were erected naming him "Pipi-Harald".

Etymology

The etymology of pipi is unclear, but there are runestones where the word is written in seemingly AthlonianConstancian lettering instead of in the futhark, like ΠΙΠΙ. Moreover, in Athlonian records of the Ashkenatzi religion, ΠΙΠΙ is sometimes found. It is possible, it might be an erroneous way of transcribing הוה‎י (YHWH) due to their visual similarity, but scholars, of both linguistics and Hurmu religion, find the Ashkenatzi hypothesis too speculative to be given credibility.
