The archive’s description

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

Haukkuvaa ja/tai purevaa koiraa on loihdittu haukkumattomaksi, puremattomaksi, näkymättömäksi ja haistamattomaksi useassa eri tilanteessa, mm. yöjalassa käydessä, taloa ohittaessa ja vieraisilla käydessä. Kaikki nämä koiran lumoamiset on koottu tähän (vain matsästyskoiraa koskevat, aivan erilaiset loitsut on erotettu). Loitsut koostuvat useimmiten Koiran synty -aihelmista (ks. Syntyloitsut) ja koiraa vaientavista manauksista. Koiran suuta tukitaan esim.: Tuki, juutas, koiran suute, perkele penin kitoo! Vieraan tullessa taloon sanotaan esim.: Selin kissan, selin koirat, päin isännät, päin emännät! (tätä formulaa ks. myös Matkalle lähtiessä). - Vrt. I3 653-654, XII2 5695.
