    I have never heard perkele used as a word for god in any old song. It is just a swear word. Is just another case of assenine linguistic juggling pulling some inane theory out of thin air.

    It is a swear word because early christians in Finland intentionally juxtaposed perkele with devil. In general all old pagan things were juxtaposed with devil and hell. Broadskull, it is called politics.

    Stanley Sjöberg, an infamous Pentecostal pastor, claims that there never was a hell in Christianity, but that the world helvete (the Swedish word for hell) was taken from the pre-Christian "Hels vite" (meaning Hel's fine or penalty).

    Some paganic symbols exist in Latvia till this day as part of folklore.

    Here are some, unfortunately in Latvian. These are some basic symbols.



    They could be combined together etc. Such ornaments are put for example on belts known as Lielvarde belts

    Did you visit the Sun Museum in Riga? I remember seeing those symbols - or at least some - there.

    Old Norse Fiorgyn, Thor's mother, and Fiorgynn, Odin's father-in-law are cognates of Perkunas.

    Makes sense, because IE "p" changed to "f" in Proto-Germanic around the first millennium BC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimm%27s_law).

    One theory is that the "Fin" in Finland is a cognate of the "Pan" in Pannonia: "Borrowed from Latin _Pannonia_, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European _*pen-_ ("moist; wet; mud; swamp; water")." (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Pannonia)
