«De af träd äro ej bildade på yttre sidan af växande träd, utan gjorda af torra träd, med hufvud och physiognomier (mun, näsa, ögon). Des- sa nedstötas i jorden, och man finner på et enda ställe 3, 6 dylika beläten, en större, de öfriga mindre. Samojedd.[Samojeder] föra ock med sig i släden en liten, <alas> lång bolvan.» Att dessa äfven ställas i särsk[ilda] kåtor, hvisar ordet Hähemeäh.
TN хэхэ мяʹʹ ‘church’, literally sacred tent ro dwelling, may lead one to suppose the existence of separate tents for idols. There are no descriptions of them, though. Instead, both Tereščenko and Lehtisalo give the meaning ‘church’. According to Lehtisalo, also ‘Geisterspeicher (bei den Ostjaken und bei den Samojeden am Unterlauf des Obs)’ (Tereščenko 2003: 804; Lehtisalo 1956: 179).

The Samoyeds make bolvans of trees with human physiognomies. They also make human-like idols, Häheh, of stone. These are anointed with reindeer blood, etc. «Those [bolvans] of trees are not made of growing trees, but of dried trees, with head and physiognomies (mouth, nose, eyes). These are pushed into the ground, and one can find in a single place three or six such graven images, one larger, the others smaller. The Samoyeds also carry with them in the sleigh a small, <--> long bolvan.» That these are also placed in special tents is proved by the word Hähemeäh. |

(угодникъ),
somRu ugodnikʹ denotes a saint in the Orthodox register. In his travel narratives, Castrén relates the name Urier etymologically to the Christian Uriel, one of the archangels, who is better known in the Orthodox tradition. (Castrén 2019: 513–515)
togs till himmelen med släde och ren, tagande med sig tvenne hustrur. Af honom har Ural sitt namn. |
Urerʹʹ, such was called a holy Samoyed (ugodnikʹʹ), who was taken to heaven by a sleigh and reindeer, together with his two wives. The Urals take their name from him. |
