Jok
[African] The god of the Alur tribesmen of Uganda and Zaire. The Alur believe that the world is full of spirits, djok, and consider that their ancestors manifest themselves in snake forms or in large rocks. When there is a draught or when the Alur are in need of rain, they sacrifice a black goat to Jok. The literal meaning of the word is "creator". He is also known as Jok Odudu, "god of birth".
 
Juok
[Other] The name of the creator god of the ancient Nilotes of South-Sudan. With a few of the Nilotic tribes (Shillul, Dinka and Nuer) he has kept his monotheistic characteristics and he is the supreme god and creator, present in all that exists. He controls the destinies of all the creatures on earth. Other Nilotic tribes (Acholi and Lango) use the term Jok only for a number of local or ancestral spirits.
