Huma bird the Arabic 'Maʼa' which means water." The Huma bird is said to never come to rest, living its entire life flying invisibly high above the earth, and never alighting on the ground (in some legends it is said to have no legs). In several variations of the Huma myths, the bird is said to be phoenix-like, consuming itself in fire every few hundred years, only to rise anew from the ashes. The Huma bird is said to have both the male and female natures in one body (reminiscent of the Chinese Fenghuang), each nature having one wing and one leg.
Peng (mythology) politicians are named Peng. In contrast, the word Kun (鯤) is seldom used. The Chinese word "Peng" is pronounced "hō" in Japanese, as seen in the sumo ring names Taihō Kōki (大鵬幸喜) and Hakuhō Shō (白鵬翔). Peng (mythology) Peng () or Dapeng (大鵬) is a giant bird that transforms from a Kun () giant fish in Chinese mythology. In comparative mythology of giant creatures, Peng is likened to the Roc or Garuda and Kun to the Leviathan. The Chinese logograms for "peng" and "kun" exemplify common radical-phonetic characters. "Peng" (鵬) combines the "bird radical" (鳥) with a "peng" (朋 "friend")
