Winter Habits - Bittern
Bittern called in Ialomita and southern Moldova "Buga", was a wooden vessel shaped like a little, with the bottom covered with goat or sheep skin, tight and tied with a close circle or a rope. By the middle of the hides overlooking a strand of horsehair attached inside with a knot or a stick passed through a trap. Mouth of the container is opened. One of the boys held the bittern, and the other with fingers dipped in broth, water or resin only with water, pulling strands of hair, creating a thud, reinforced by the sounding of the vessel. Word has reached us bull, probably by imtermediul Slavic languages: Russian. - Buga, pol. - Bull, Czech. - Buga, as they say in Ialomita and southern Moldova. The object designed to imitate the lowing bull, symbol of fertility, was once widespread throughout Europe. The Czech is now known as the bukal or bukaci, the name being related to the noise it makes. The Hungarians called burgato, also an onomatopoeic name. The Germans called Rummeltop or Brummtorf, everything after that makes noise (torf mean pot of soil, clay). The custom has disappeared long ago in Western Europe, and where there is, and has lost the traditional sense and is practiced more as a children's game.
