Another Look at Unmade Names

[Yumiya]

I really like how the community has come up with the references to the Unmade's names and real life. I have a couple of tweaks that might be interesting:

Anat, Semitic war goddess, for Sja-anat.
I like the association with Anat, but where does the Sja come from? I propose that the Sja actually comes from the Old Norse mythology of Sága, who is also called the seeress. Sága is commonly thought to be derived from the Old Norse verb sjá, meaning "to see". Given that fore-sight is of Odium and is granted to Corrupted Truthwatchers, this would make a lot of sense. 

Two of the other unmade are without associations, but we do have a WOB giving a clue:

I noticed most of the Unmade have a Middle Eastern mythology inspiration, and could pair them with deities, but I couldn't find a fit for two: Yelig-nar and Ba-Ado-Mishram. Could you tell us their names' origin?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

Those two are actually not Middle Eastern but actually inspired by Lovecraft.

Note the use of the word "inspired", not "named after".

I think Nyogtha is the inspiration for Re-Shephir. Resheph's symbology does not line up with Re-Shephir. So I think the name is separate. Re-Shaper might be a better translation of the name. But back to Nyogtha, who is described as inky and able to change her shape. Nyogtha also has the Spawn of Nyogtha. 

In a similar vein, I think God of the Red Flux is the inspiration for Ba-Ado-Mishram. God of the Red Flux is a mist-like being that has the power to turn humans into virtual zombies. While not directly Ba-Ado-Mishram's fault, her imprisonment basiclly did the same thing to the parshendi, creating the parshmen. Now, the name. BA, as has be previously mentioned (on reddit I think) can be translated from hebrew to "come", while Mishram is a direct translation to "mix" from Hindi, and "ado" goes to "give" from Latvian. Ba-Ado-Mishram gave the parsheni forms by mixing them with spren.   

Finally, there is Yeglir-nar. Still lost on the name side of things. Some one previously mentioned 'Ymnar. I think the MO is right but no mention of crystal. Turning into crystal seems like a big thing for Yeglir-nar hosts. Dygra might be a possible influence. Q'yth-az, while crystallin seems more like an inspiration for the sibling, given that humans that are psychically sensitive who come into contact with crystal formations can pick up its projected thoughts. Which leaves Yorith as the most likely, in that Yorith hypnotizes its victims, like Yeglir-nar. 

The rest of the unmade, I don't really have anything to add to. 

Though as a bonus (Emperor's Soul spoiler)

Spoiler

Shai was the deification of the concept of fate in Egyptian mythology. As the god of fate, it was said that he determined the span of each man's life, and was present at the judgement of the soul of the deceased.  Sound like one of our Soul Forger friends?

I think "inspired by Lovecraft" there means the form of the names, not necessarily a connection to a specific Lovecraftian entity.
