The archive’s description

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

Laskiaisena mäkeä laskiessa toivottiin omalle talolle hyvää, pitkää pellavaa, alkusäkeinä Liu lau laskiaista; Liirin luarin laskiaista; Lipo lipo liinaa, Hei huraa tms. Joskus toivottiin myös hyvää hamppua, suuria juureksia, hyvää tuhkaa ja tupakkasatoa (VIII, IX, XIV), yltäkylläisesti ruokaa ja viinaa - mutta toisille tuppuroita, tappuroita (X, XIII; ks. Siansorkka laskiaisna)
