    It is not right to light the bone-fire with coals, it should be lit with a match.
    When you are after churning you should make the sign of the cross three times around the churn
    If the weasel throws three spits at you, you will die.
    If you see the shape of a funeral in the sky it is not right to point to it.
    It is not right to put an unbrella over your head in the house.
