The word for the sun in elvish is elgara. So I would surmise that this primeval deity, Elgar'nan's father, is called Elgara to the elves. The Land/Earth is a little harder to discern, because I can't find any instance of land/earth having an equivalent in the elven tongue. The closest guess I would have is "An" - as An is added to elven words to give an indication of place/location. Eg. Arlathan, Solasan, Elvhenan, Abelasan, etc. I've also seen on the wiki that the land/earth is called 'Alas' or 'Vhen'alas', but I've been unable to find a source for that claim. So; The Sun = Elgara The Earth/Earth = unknown, possibly "An", "Alas" or "Vhen'alas" But never have the elves ever called these 'deities' by anything other than the english 'sun/land/earth'. I just thought it was worth mentioning the elvish.

Hearing Your cat in the background make me so happy ☺️.
Finaly all the tales of the Dalish and their gods all in one place! thank you so much!
Great vid. You have a way with storytelling.
Great video! I love learning about Dalish and their beliefs.
I feel like we could have been friends should we meet irl :) thanks for covering the dragon age!
It kinda sounds like Elgar’nan was made tranquil?
I really like that idea - I wonder if the possibility of tranquility in Elvhenan will be addressed in the new game?
