We note here W, Q, K are forbidden as with Male devil names, but also Z, X, J, F.  If we look at our Stone age vectors,
I/A is from the 18% developmental source... Ai (Japanese Rivers), Ia (Japanese Mountains), or A/I [a place with Eels]
A/S is from the 10% developmental source... As (Sand, Forest, Saturn), Sa, or A/S (Salt).

We find that:
1. The earliest Female Devil is either from Japanese mountains or Japanese Rivers.
2. The earliest Hell is an environment of Sand, Forest, Salt, Coast, River, Ice, Island, Japanese Flowers, and Ghosts (or the Gloomy shitshow on Titan out near Saturn - something that doesnt bode well for Space colonist psychology).
3. The Earliest Male Devil is or A-E (early humans at 28%), or A-R (who are city dwellers) at 15%.

The earliest Devil found l9ve in a She-devil from the Mountains/Rivers of Japan and she went on to be a grandmother. 

Thanks to Ed Greenwood for his Nine Hells (Dragon Magazine 75, 76)

We can be pretty sure Japan was a significant site of human occupation before the iceage between 18%-15%. Possibly with the first city as opposed to the Middle East But it also seems to have become Hell.
