Kivutar
Finnish · deity · primordial · Recorded classification
KIVUTAR AND KIPUTYTTÖ ARE TWO RECORDS AND SOME TREATMENTS MAKE THEM ONE. The distinction the sources draw is by act — Kivutar boils pain in a pot, Kiputyttö grinds it into stone on Kipumäki — and where a tradition distinguishes two figures this registry holds two, on the ground lane 19 stated for the two Myrddins. Neither record asserts they are the same and neither asserts they are not.
