The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.
Parannussanoja, joilla parannetaan erilaisia, tarkemmin erittelemättömiä kipuja ja särkyjä. Kipusanoiksi kutsutaan myös muissa tautiloitsuissa esiintyviä aihelmia, joissa puhutellaan Kiputyttöä ja joissa kivut karkotetaan esim. kiveen puhkaistuun reikään. Kipusanat kombinoituvat tyypillisesti erilaisten parannus- ja karkotussanojen, voiteen sanojen ja tietäjän sanojen kanssa.
