Thompson’s Finnish citation resolves, but the served text tells the motif backwards: nobody snatches Wainamoinen — he lets himself out. The water-mother labors monstrously — “Seven hundred years she labored / Ere her first-born was delivered” — and still he waits unborn, “Lingering within his dungeon / Thirty summers altogether” [The Kalevala, Rune I]. He petitions the lights of heaven for release and is refused: “Since the Moon refused to free him, / And the Sun would not deliver”. So he acts — “Bursts he then the outer portals / Of his dark and dismal fortress”, “With his strong, but unnamed finger, / Opens he the lock resisting” [ibid.]. Years more in the sea, and the hero finally stands on a bare coast; only now, says the rune, he “Was delivered from his mother, / Ilmatar, the Ether’s daughter” [ibid.]. The label’s snatching — an outside hand tearing the hero from the mother’s side — is not on this page; what the one wired witness attests is the culture hero’s unnatural, self-willed exit after impossible gestation. Charge the difference to the rubric, not the rune; Thompson’s Tehuelche, Jivaro, and Warrau parallels are all still unwired.
