Kemza. Water demon from river Sava, near Sabac. Looks like a man with a snake tail. It gets swimmers into whirlpools where it coils around them and drowns them. Countermeasure: cross yourself if you want to drink water from the river. May god help the swimmers

Nav. A soul of a dead unbaptised child enters a bird and becomes a "nav". It screeches during the night most commonly making crying sounds. It can make breastfeeding mothers go dry. Crossing yourself and saying "I baptise myself" makes it disappear.

This is very interesting. Slavic word Nav denote the souls of the dead in Slavic mythology. The singular form (Nav or Nawia) is also used as a name for an underworld. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nav_(Slavic_folklore)@TheSacredIsle …

In Slavic mythology, souls of the dead entered birds who brought them to irij, paradise. Birds then brought the souls back when they were ready to be reborn. It is interesting that only the souls of unbaptised (still pagan) children become "nav"

What is even more interesting is that in Irish the word for saint is "naomh" which is pronounced like "n(i)ev" and which comes from Old Irish noíb (noeb) meaning sacred, holy. https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/naomh https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/naomh

And that in Irish the word for heaven (where saints (naomh) go) is "neamh" which is pronounced like "nav"
and which comes from PIE "*nébʰos." meaning sky which is in Slavic "nebo"

So in Slavic languages the dead, (navi) go to underworld, old pagan heaven probably, (nav) and in Irish language saints (niev) go to haven (nav)...
