The mysterious story is hidden behind the name, which according to old Lithuanian custom should not be spoken. The mere utterance of this word is said to be a harbinger of terrible misfortune and usually brings death with it. However, Professor Wittenbach did not know all this when he went to Lithuania to study old texts written in the Žmud language. But it was during his stay that strange story took place, which should be a warning to young Theodore, who is about to marry a Lithuanian girl.
