==Etymology==
The term "Verk'ohism" is a compounded word taking the names of the two deities, Ver and K'oh, and adding the religious suffix "-ism" to the end of the word. The native name for the religion, "Ts'ilore'mide", derives from the Medieval Salovian words "Ale'd'ide", meaning "Praised be", and "Ts’mind'ori", directly translating to "The Holy Two".
The word for "Ver" and "K'oh" are directly related to the Salovian words "Verti" and "K'ohtili," both words being synonymous to the Staynish/Codexian word "Righteous One" or "Virtuous One," depending on the translation. It is believed that both the terms "Verti" and "K'ohtili" are descended from a parent term that the two words share with "Ver" and "K'oh".

The Dating System used by devout Verk'ohists use the Gregorian equivalent 1186 BCE as year 1, to represent when Ki'esule and Mordokai encountered Ver and K'oh. There is no concrete evidence or justification for this date, but it is widely thought that the year was chosen in 131 BCE by Verk'ohist Divine [[Elik Neli]] and the Verk'ohist [[Council of Elders]] as a method to standardize the Verk'ohist Calendar.

===Modern-Day===
Today, Verk'ohism's place in the modern world has been predominantly restricted by geographical and political variables, including that of the decline of mostly Verk'ohist Salovia and the rise of mostly Thaerist Morstaybishlia.
