The informant is not familiar with the song's author, he thinks that it was authored by a Novinskie (jĭʌp kǫrt) village woman back in the second half of the 19th century (karja, jĭs ŏt ar. śaťśaśet utǝm pŏrajǝn utǝm ar, ʻOld, a song of the people of old. A song that used to be at the time of her grandmother's life'). He performed it as a simple women's song, but the fact that the author and the origin of the song are unknown, as well as the somewhat erotic character of the lyrics may suggest that it also used to serve as a bear ceremony play. (Personal songs are rarely preserved for three generations, especially if the circumstances of their creation are also forgotten). I recorded a Vogul men's song created to the same tune in Peregrëbnoe, its author is from Protočnye (posal pāγǝl) village (1982.PE.106). [cf. 1982.PO.37]
