Tarqeq

The provided sources do not include a primary ethnographic origin myth for Tarqeq. Fragmentary lexical and secondary summaries indicate that forms such as Tatqeq (Netsilik) and Tarqiup inua (Iglulik) function as the general word for the moon or to specify the moon-spirit; one secondary summary relates a chase motif pairing Seqinek (Sun) and Tarqeq (Moon) in which Tarqeq's torch (the moon) is partially extinguished during pursuit. Beyond such secondary summaries and lexical citations, no detailed origin narrative is attested in the supplied material.

Traditional/ethnographic descriptions of the moon-spirit's physical or anthropomorphic appearance are not recorded in the provided sources. A modern fantasy/roleplaying source personifies Tarqeq with character traits, but this is explicitly non-ethnographic. Separately, the astronomical Tarqeq (Saturn LII) is described in scientific sources as an irregular prograde satellite roughly six kilometres in diameter and roughly ellipsoidal in shape; this physical description refers to the named Saturnian moon, not to the Inuit spirit.

The sourced material attributes to the Inuit Tarqeq a domainal association with the Moon and observable lunar phenomena (phases, eclipses) insofar as the name denotes the moon or its spirit. Secondary summaries recount narrative roles—such as participation in a chase motif with the sun (Seqinek) that explains partial illumination of the moon—but primary ethnographic sources detailing specific powers, interventions, or ritual functions are not provided in the supplied documents. Astronomical data (orbital period, semi-major axis, rotation) describe the physical satellite named Tarqeq and are not claims about the spirit's abilities.
