“Christfried Ganander called Kivutar Väinämöinen's daughter and called Vaavutar or Vauvutar her sister. The former claim is based on the fact that Kivutar is called Väinän tytär ("daughter of Väinä"). Seto poetry also features this epithet (Väänä tütär) with the clear meaning of a "female inhabitant at the river Daugava" (in Finnish, Väinä river).”
