Nobody will comment on the name "Aina"? Isn't she
a girl that drowned in the Finnish epic you've been discussing in relation to
Sibelius and the myths of creation?
BTW: Another creation myth, now a Japanese
one, mentions Aioina and a metamorphosis of his abandoned sandals
into squirrels, a theme that is reminiscent of Nabokov's Cinderella's slippers
made of grey fur and not of "glass" ( verre/vair).
