Yam, Yamm, Nahar, Yaw

Yam, the Ugaritic-Canaanite sea god of the waters: the seas, rivers, lakes, and chaos and disorder, periodically battled the weather-storm god Baal for supremacy.

Yam represents the power of the tempestuous sea untamed and raging.

He lived in an undersea palace; a dragon, serpent, and Leviathan (Lotan) may have been in his following...

When Baal succeeded in killing his arch enemy, he scattered his remains as fertilizing rain...

Yam's defeat by Baal parallels the Mesopotamian legend of the storm god Marduk's victory over the primordial sea goddess Tiamat.

Numerous other parallel legends have been noted by mythologists and religion scholars, often interpreted as representing the triumph of heavenly order over primeval chaos...
