The song accompanies the bear ceremony dance of the idol of the Little Sosʹva šuχtǝr kurt village, šuχtǝr naj ‘š. mistress’.
The village was already getting unpopulated at the beginning of the century, and has become uninhabited completely since. The song is closely related to the song No. 1982.PO.15, which was authored by a woman from there: both its formulas and the tune are identical.
The present song is the singer’s favorite for performances accompanied by an instrument (nărǝs juχ). He was invited to perform at several events at the cultural center, kindergarten and school of Polnovat and played this tune there, but with the text of the personal song No. 1982.PO.15 ("one cannot sing an idol song in places like this, after all").
