I thought the Triviguantis were more Arab or Persian than Indian. They
at least show Islamic survivals, wherever they are from.  For example,
their symbol is a red triangle, "because Sphigx won't let them use
images."  They are monotheists (more or less, worshipping only or mostly
Sphigx). Their names and the little bits of their language that we hear
are more like Arabic than Hindi, as well.
