A Khanty man treats forest spirits with food for a successful hunting. In the bailichka about the disrespectful attitude to spirits, there is such an edifying moment: A man came to the forest. Before starting the meal, he disdainfully placed a treat for the spirits: "Ja, – lupәԓ, – ԓөӈhat, ԓԑvaty!" - ''Well, the spirits' he says,' eat!». Returning after a short time with the words: "Aԓpa ԓөӈhԓәm ԓԑsәt!" - "Surely the spirits have eaten!» a man discovered an empty plate with a nose.
