The three kwarzam of pep were said to be used in every dairy of the Kuudrol, but it did not appear that they were used at Kiudr. The third, mutchudpep, is not included in the Kuudr prayer, but mutchudkars appears in its place. Two hills are mentioned in the Kwirg prayer, but there are none of the references to special events connected with the village such as exist in the prayer of Kuudr.
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.
The ti Prayer
The prayers offered at the ti dairies are as a general rule longer and more complex than those of the ordinary village dairy. The latter portion of the prayer, or the prayer proper, does not seem to differ from that of the ordinary dairy, the differences being in the kwarzam recited at the beginning. The different dairies of the same ti may have different prayers; thus, at the Nòdrs ti there is a special prayer for the dairy at Anto which is longer and more complicated than that used at Mòdr, but it is probable that this is exceptional and is owing to the great antiquity and sanctity of Anto. The other dairies of this ti probably use much the same prayer as at Mòdr, though there may be certain slight modifications at each. [[224]]
