Väinämöinen attracted Miss Pohjola

Väinämöinen lured the beautiful Miss Pohjola with him. The girl bullied Väinämö to do various feats.

Then I would call her a man,
For bravery I guess,
If only you could cut the rope
With a knife without a point.

That's where I'd go,
Kenp' is to carve venonen
From the crumbs of my spinning rod.

While carving Purtta, Väinämöinen hit his knee with an ax and couldn't get the bleeding to stop. A man was found in one of the bars who knew how to read blood clot words.
