In [[Vorinism]], she is called '''Vedeledev''', and swearing by Vedeledev's golden keys is used to express astonishment.{{book ref|sa1|7}} "Vedeledev knows" is also used.{{book ref|sa2|67}} The name is sometimes shortened to '''Vev''' -- this is used both as an expression of its own, and as the Vorin number 4.{{book ref|sa3|68}} Names [[Vedelliar]] and [[Vevidar]] are probably derived from Vedel.
