Description
Poem 278 Noita laulan, joita taian ("Those I spell, which I can") from 2nd book of 1942 edition of Elias Lönnrot's Kanteletar. The poem collected by Lönnrot is noteworthy for including a rare list of main Finnish heroes ranked in order of importance. Original singer is unknown, but he may have been one Mateli Kuivalatar (Wikipedia on Kanteletar). Excerpt includes at the end notes on standardization of spelling.
Attested Germanic names for these poem characters include:
Väinämöinen – Ægir or Hler son of Fornjótr, Höfundr son of Guðmundr
Ilmarinen – king Olmar, Kári son of Fornjótr, Völund the smith
Lemminkäinen – Angantýr son of Höfundr
Kaleva – Cælic, Fornjótr, Guðmundr
Louhi – Laufey the mother of Loki.
The name Lemminkäinen is attested historically from 13th century Curonians for their king Lammechinus (a Latin spelling). 13th century Estonian king Lembitu's name also stems from same root word lempi, lemb or lemme 'love'.
