1. _Kitež_ (Mount Kitesh). The Russian author Merežkovski mentions the
mysterious Kitež region, an uninhabited forest, and the Lake Svetlojar
(which latter name might very well be transliterated by the _Holy
Lake_), which used to be inhabited by all sorts of monsters.
2. _Vile Zatočnice_ (Votaress Fairies). The term _Votaress snakes_
(_zmije zatočnice_) is popularly applied to snakes which are supposed to
have taken a vow in the autumn not to go to sleep for the winter without
having killed somebody.
3 _Relya_ (_Hrelja_). A Croatian ballad makes mention of a certain
Hrelja as a better and stronger hero than even Kraljević Mark.
The names _Rutvica_ and _Jaglenac_ have simply been translated into
_Lavender_ and _Primrose_.
_Bukač_ is derived from _buka_, noise. Hence _Belleroo_.
_Medunkda_, from _medved_, a bear (Bruineen).
The term _božjak_ (applied to Relya), which suggests a powerful,
poverty-stricken churl, the translator has sought to render by _rowfoot_
(a rough fellow).
