The archive’s description

Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.

Hammastaudin loitsuille tyyppillisiä aihelmia ovat taudin alkuperän tiedustelut, hammastaudin synty-aihelmat ja taudin karkotussanat mutta myös erilaiset voiteiden ja kipujen sanat. Mielikuva käärmeestä, hammasmadosta taudinaiheuttajana tuottaa yhtymäkohtia myös käärmeen sanoihin. Mielikuvat kivusta taudinaiheuttajan puremisena tai syömisenä yhdistää hammastaudin loitsuja myös riisitaudin loitsuun. Hämeessä ja Satakunnassa yhteys on mielletty myös koi-tautiin (hammaskoi).
