And that is how it is
- 1. all vocatives are in diminutive (-ke ending) because that is the respectful animistic way to address higher powers; it uses the so-called Kalevala meter of folk poetry but stress-based
- 2. 'eyes' are also diminutive
- 3. she pronounces "pole" as "pol(l)", probably being afraid to break the 8-syllable trochaic beat/hypnotism, although in this position it is very common to have a triplet of shorts in folk poetry
- 4. I find it a bit unexpected that she asks not for 'some strength/power' but all of it; some strength would be "jõu-du" (long-short) but that would not work meter-wise
- 5. "meeleke(sse)" and "hingeke(sse)" are also diminutives
