suw anası

/suw anasɯ/

Literal translation

mother of water

The divine being believed in pre-Islamic times to rule over water.

Uy, Suw anası, suw qız, qayın anasına aman bolğannı har zamanda da eterigim bılaydı, – dep, kim bolğanın tanıtmay, suwğa-suwğa bulğağandı."Hey, Water-mother, water maiden, this is what I always do to anyone who treats their mother-in-law badly," they said, and without letting on who they were, they swirled the other round and round in the water.
