The archive’s description
Written by the editors of the SKVR type index and quoted as it stands, in Finnish.
Erilaisia johdantoja. Ydinaihe: Neito itkee, itkun tiedustelu, neito kertoo surevansa nuorena sotaan vietyä veljeään, lohdutus: veli tulossa, pää näkyy, veli tuo ummiskengät tms., neito lupaa ommella palttinaisen paidan (ks. tanssilaulut: Tule meille tanssimaan, annan paidan palkaksesi; Neljän neidon runo). Jos veli tuo hanhen, usein jatkona Hanhi kadonnut.
