Note 649 — Chapter V · THE DIFFERENCING ELEMENTS OF COMMUNAL POETRY (continued 2)
Reading edition
A Lithuanian mill-song: see Bücher, p. 39. See also Porthan, work quoted above, p. 198. He gives a pretty little song of a Finnish woman who calls for her absent husband in no recondite terms, ending:—
Liki, liki, linduiseni,
Kuki, kuki, kuldaiseni!—
that is, “prope, prope, deliciae meae; juxta, juxta, corculum meum.”
