Ishinan, this has everything to do with semantics, and nothing to do with
Thor and his hammer. So you needn't worry about that.

The gloss of 'patch' that you refer to is indeed legitimate, but in reference
to clothing. The idea has to be modified when talking bout the sky. I can't
see the notion of seven heavens in this. Perhaps you have some further
evidence to support your semantic suggestion?
