is the name given to the devil among the Finns. He is described as having only three fingers on each hand, but these are armed with large nails, with which he tears in pieces all who fall into his power. He is supposed to reside in the forest, whence he sends out all manner of diseases and calamities, with which he afflicts mankind.
