pp. 128-130 autobiography of a Goldi "siurinka sama`n" from Urmila {name of a heroine in the Pur a n.a} nigh H^abarovsk on the river Amur

 

[(S&ISh, p. 153) : "the most highly respected shaman among the Entsy (a Samoyed people) was the budtode, who is in contact with the spirits who live in heaven.

The less highly regarded d’ano was able to protect humans from evil spirits, and

the least respected sawode shaman could contact the dead.

In the same way the lowest category among the Nanai (Goldi) was the siurinka, the shaman who cures the sick. {= d’ano, protecting from evil ailment-spirits}

Nemati shamans were able both to cure the sick and to perform the shamanizing at the first festival in memory of the dead. {= budtode, introducing the guardian-angel of the dead to the heavenly spirits, as by the Chinese emplacement in memorial ancestor-name-tablet}

Among the shamans[, those] with the greatest prestige were the kasati shamans, ... who are capable of the most important task of the Nanai shaman, that of accompanying the souls of the dead to the otherworld. {= sawode}"]

pp. 133-134 abassy-deities of the Yakut

 

{Since Tith o nos when "hr could not move nor lift his limbs" (HH 5, l. 218) was in a shamanistic state of "sleep-paralysis", the goddess Au o s (E o s) who had him under her control was similar to an abassy; so that a daughter of an abassy would be about aequivalent to Phil o nis / Khi o n e, who mated (CDCM, s.v. "Philammon") with 2 different gods on the same day (as it could be suspected that a daughter of an abassy may be carrying out simultaneous love-affairs, inasmuch as shamans surely must outnumber abassy-daughters).}
