“In some runic songs of the origin of snakes, snakes were born out of Syöjätär's spit, but there are also versions where a snake is born out of a bristle of the brush of Maanhuten maan emäntä 'Maanhuten, Mistress of Earth'; Maanhuten could also be Maanhutar or Manutar according to Adolf Ivar Arwidsson). In Martti Haavio's opinion, Mammotar comes from Latin mater or Greek mḗtēr 'mother' and refers to the mother of demons such as Lilith. The name does sometimes appear alongside Syöjätär”
