The Prayer of the Kanòdrs Dairy
When I was staying at Pishkwosht and visited the conical dairy at Kanòdrs with Neratkutan, he told me that the prayer of this dairy had forty kwarzam referring to the gods, as well as many of other kinds, but on going into detail I could only obtain the following:—
| Pâr nûr teu | the 1600 gods. | ||
| pût nûr teu | the 1800 gods. | ||
| Kwoto | Kwoto or Meilitars (see p. [203]).[[223]] | ||
| Atioto | Atioto (see p. [210]). | ||
| Kurindei teu | Kurindo (see p. [192]). | ||
| Konteu | Konteu or Konto (see p. [211]). | ||
| Anteu | Anto (see p. [188]). | ||
| Pòrzo | Pòrzo |  | see p. [211]. |
| Kòdrtho | Kòdrtho | ||
| Kârzo | Karzo | ||
| Teikhunteu | Teikhun | ||
| mänpóh | Kanòdrs village. | ||
| mutîrshpóh | ditto. | ||
| tûnertû | the pen. | ||
| kânêr | the sun ? (see p. [206]). | ||
| kuteikurs | the stone chain used by Kwoto (see p. [207]). | ||
| aners | Kuzhu village. | ||
| tûtashki | Pishkwosht village. | ||
This prayer is quite unlike those of the other village dairies and was much more like that of a ti dairy. As we have seen, the poh of Kanòdrs resembles a ti dairy both in the elaborateness of its ritual and in the high degree of sanctity of its dairyman, and this resemblance is now seen to extend to the prayer used in the dairy ritual.
Other dairies of the Tartharol which have an especial degree of sanctity are the kugvali of Taradr and the conical dairy of Nòdrs. I made great endeavours to obtain the prayers used in these places, but without success.
