The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.
Narin (nurrin, narun, närin, narrin), ranteen kipeytymistä ja nivelten narinaa aiheuttavan taudin loitsu on tyypillisesti kaikilla alueilla samanlainen. Lyhyt dialogiloitsu noudattaa kaavaa "Mitä hakkaat? - Naria hakkaan". Naria hakataan, poltetaan, tapetaan, nostetaan, salvetaan jne. Mahdollisia lisiä ovat narille suunnatut kehotuksen poistua (koska kartano palaa). Loitsu voi olla myös lyhyt kuvaus tiellä juoksevasta narista.
