Der Ilei floruit late 7th century is believed to have been a daughter, or less probably a sister, of Bridei map Beli , king of the Picts died 693 . There are no explicit mentions of Der Ilei in the Irish annals or other sources, and her existence and parentage are thus based on the implication of the surviving records. Der Ilei is presumed to have been married to Dargart mac Finguine died 686 , a prince of the Cen l Comgaill . Their children are thought to have included Bruide mac Der Ilei died 706 and Nechtan mac Der Ilei died 732 , kings of the Picts, and perhaps the Comgal mac Dargarto whose death in 712 is noticed by the Annals of Ulster . She also married a man named Drostan&mdash the hypocoristic form of the common name Drest or Drust&mdash with whom she had a son named Talorc or Talorcan&mdash Talorcan, again, is a hypocoristic form. Drostan and Der Ilei may have been the parents of Finguine, killed in 729 with his son Feroth at the battle of Monith Carno, or he may have been a son of Drostan by another marriage. It is not clear which of these marriages produced Der Ilei s son Ciniod died 713 . Since Bruide son of Dargart was evidently an adult in 696, and Talorc son of Drostan does not appear in the record until 713, it is thought that Der Ilei married Drostan following the death of Dargart.

Rodion Oslyabya lang ru was a Russian monk from Sergius of Radonezh Saint Sergius s Troitse Sergiyeva Lavra Trinity Abbey who became famous for his part in the Battle of Kulikovo . According to Oleg N. Trubachev , the nickname Oslyabya is a hypocoristic for donkey . His Christian name has been given in various sources as Roman, Rodion, Andrian and Andrey. Most details of his life are legendary. According to a 15th century source, he was a nobleman boyar rather than a monk. His relative some say brother was Alexander Peresvet , although it is likely that this relationship is merely the product of later hagiographic tradition. Oslyabya reportedly fought and survived the battle of Kulikovo and went on a diplomatic mission to the Byzantine Emperor in 1398. According to http www.rulex.ru 01150210.htm other accounts he was killed in that battle. His son Yakov is also believed to have fought in the battle of Kulikovo. Oslyabya lies buried at the Theotokos Church in Simonov Monastery Simonovo , Moscow together with Peresviet. The Russian battleship Oslyabya was named after him.

Mi ka is not a Lithuanian word but Russian, a hypocoristic form of Michael , the protagonist s name. ref Lokis is a 1869 Prosper M rim e horror fantasy novella . It was one of the last stories by M rim e, started in July 1868 and published in the Revue des deux Mondes in September 1869. ref name space Plot It is set in rural Lithuania . The plot revolves around a young man who is suspected to be half human half bear, since he was born after his mother was mauled and, as believed by peasants, raped by a bear. The title is a misspelling of Lithuanian lokys for bear . As such, the plot may be classified into a werewolf theme. Through the novel, the protagonist, Michel Lokis, manifests signs of animal like behavior until he finally kills his bride by a bite to her throat and runs away into the forest on his wedding night.
