[375] Khudyakof, No. 104. From the Orel Government.
[376] The kholodnaya izba—the “cold izba,” as opposed to the “warm izba” or living room.
[377] The etymology of the word koldun is still, I believe, a moot point. The discovery of the money in the warlock’s coffin seems an improbable incident. In the original version of the story the wizard may, perhaps, have turned into a heap of gold (see above, p. 231, on “Gold-men”).
