   Never bring a vessel to the well with traces of milk on it.
   Never wash a milk vessel at a well.
   It is unlucky to throw away milk.
   Never put a newly-born baby in a new cradle, it will either die or have misfortune.
   It is unlucky to refuse water.
   Don't give a name to the baby before its birth and don't select sponsors until after the birth.
   The first baby is usually (almost universally) called after its father's father or mother, the second after the mother's parent. After that the children are named as the parents please.

   Don't cut hair on Friday, or rails, corns, etc. on Sunday - an old saying goes -
   "Friday cut hair Sunday cut corn
   Better for you you never were born".
   Don't cut the mane of a mare in pool - she may slip foal.
   Always pay back salt which you borrow - in many cases people appear after death to ask relatives to pay back the salt, or pay their debts or get a mass said.

   If you get milk from a neighbour's house be sure to wash off all traces of milk before returning it - some put a pinch of salt in the vessel.
   Some wouldn't give milk to anyone on May-Day.
