Очень странно увидеть у номадических народностей такое _конеобозначение_
The Bashkir legends about a wonderful horse–forefather arc new versions of the legends about a wolf («The Kin of Bash»– «Tai – the Head Yearling»), in part they represent a further development of the traditional motif («Villages Yamash and Yomash»). Noteworthy are plots, where a horse represents a bearer of a peculiar horse's breed which have allegedly emerged from the underwater world («Yilkysykkan kul» – «The Lake where from Horses Came Out»); or a creator of natural objects («Karithel»...). Of considerable informative value are legends about mythical winged horses–tolpars («The Mountain Slope of Turat – the Bridegroom's Stone») and also of renowned runners, who won prizes at horse–races («Alasabyr»). The investigation of historical sources, motifs, material objects, reflected in all kinds of plots, testifies to antiquity of the tradition of worshipping a horse (it is explained by a great role of the horse in man's life).
