  • Ved-ava (conosciuta come Veden Emo oppure Veen Emo nella mitologia finlandese, Veteema nella mitologia estone e Wedhen Eme oppure Veden Emä in quella careliana è considerata una divinità delle acque.

  • 韦季-阿瓦(Ved-ava)是传统上依赖捕渔的波罗的海和芬兰-乌戈尔语民族神话中的一位女水神。她有时也与生育有关。通常被描绘为颇似美人鱼的水中生物,长头发、大乳房,下半身是一条完整的鱼尾巴,也说她喜欢嬉戏或唱歌,常用歌声来勾引人。渔民一般会将首次捕得的渔获敬献给她,捕鱼时小心遵守与她有关的各种禁忌。看见韦季-阿瓦则预示不吉利,最常见的是溺水。她一直被视为溺死者的鬼魂,或直接是水本身的人格化精灵。 莫尔多瓦人(现在的俄罗斯西部区域)认为她是水之母,她能淹死野浴的人或降下一种唯有她能治愈的疾病。为了向她请求宽恕,须向水中扔掷钱币、黍米等。她管辖可医治百病的药泉韦季-普里亚(Vedi-Puria)。据说她还是爱情和生育子女的保护神。人们祈求她帮助未婚妻解除不育的苦恼。她还能普降甘霖;爱沙尼亚人称她为韦登-艾玛(Vete-ema),而芬兰人叫她维恩-伊莫(Veen emo),马里人神话中也有类似的人物-维尤特-阿瓦,“维尤特”为马里语,意为“水”。 (zh)
