Liekkiö
Finnish · deity · mythic · deity
TWO SENSES OF ONE WORD, AND THIS RECORD IS THE 1551 ONE. In later folklore a liekkiö is the restless spirit of a murdered or abandoned child — a class of being and not a figure, and it would be rejected under this programme's rules. Agricola's Liekkiö is a named god with a stated province, which is what is recorded here; the record does not claim the two senses are the same thing, and does not claim they are different. Carries a verified-solitary verdict: the 1551 line gives a function and no kin.
