Err. True. The gods of UF have the "different name to different culture" thing going on. Hadn't thought of that.
They're all on Earth, so she used the Earther name out of respect for locale?
Or Mia might not understand that the universe only has one set of gods who are known by different names? "Well, we're on Earth so it can't be <Minbari name>, must be Verthandi!"
Gryphon and Truss know, but the rest of us will have to wait and see. :-)
