Болванскiя шопки
Bolvanskaja sopka ʻBolvan hill’ is a Russian term for Nenets sacred places that have wooden or stone idols and traces of sacrifices in them. The kinds of hills are often clearly distinguishable from the environment by their shape and they are often also named beautiful or pleasant, as Castrén does here. TN хэбидяʹ я or хэхэʹ я.

 A Tadibe was left on trial on an uninhabited island in the sea. They saw him coming from there sitting on the water, with the speed of a sailing boat.

The ancient Tadibes could see and show to other men parts of the lungs and other parts of living human beings.

Here, Castrén’s explanation of the difference between the meaning of TN сядэй and TN хэхэ differs from what has been explicated by Chomič and Lehtisalo; see [bolvan] and [saedaej]. It is highly possible that the meaning of the words has not been and is not strict in practical usage.

 		 NB: Idols are of two kinds:

1) Hähe, with a human shape, always dressed at home.
2) Seädi Seadaei utan msklig[mänsklig] skepnad ofullständig, utan
