Roog or Rog (Koox in the Cangin languages) is the Supreme God and Creator of the Serer religion of the Senegambia region.〔 Thiaw, Issa Laye, "La Religiosite de Seereer, Avant et pendant leur Islamisation". Ethiopiques no: 54, Revue semestrielle de Culture Négro-Africaine, Nouvelle série, volume 7, 2e Semestre (1991) () (Retrieved : 25 May 2012)〕 ==Names and titles== In Serer, ''roog'' means sky or the heavens.〔Gravrand, "Pangool", p 176〕 Roog is sometimes referred to as ''Roog Sene'' (''Rog Seen, Rog Sene, Rooh Seen,'' etc.) which means ''Roog the Immensity'', or by extension, ''the merciful god''.〔 Faye, Louis Diène, "Mort et Naissance le monde Sereer", Les Nouvelles Editions Africaines (1983), p 44, ISBN 2-7236-0868-9〕 Other titles which are used outside of prayers include ''Roog Dangandeer Seen'' ("Roog the omnipresent", by extension it can also mean "the Omnipresent God"), ''Roog o Caaci’in Seen'' (Roog our ancestor), ''Roog o maak Seen'' (''"Roog a faha"'' ) (Roog is great), ''Roog a yaal'in Seen'' (Roog our Lord), ''Roog o Ndimaan Seen'' (Roog! The giver of the fruit (''life'' )),〔 and "The Master of the World".〔 The name Roog is probably a corruption of the deity ''Koox''.〔Gravrand, "Pangool", pp 169-171〕 This may stem from the Serers of Kaabu or Tekrur (present-day Futa Tooro in Senegal)〔Gravrand, "Pangool", p 169〕 after their exodus in the 11th century following a religious war. According to the oral tradition of the Cangin, the original name of the supreme being was Kooh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
