Editing Dodola and Perperuna (section)

===Perperuna songs===
[[Ioan Slavici]] reported in 1881 that the custom of ''Paparuga'' was already "very disbanded" in Romania.{{sfn|Nodilo|1981|p=51}} Stjepan Žiža in 1889/95 reported that the once common ritual almost vanished in Southwestern and Central-Eastern Istria, Croatia.{{sfn|Čulinović-Konstantinović|1963|p=78}} [[:hr:Ivan Milčetić|Ivan Milčetić]] recorded in 1896 that the custom of ''Prporuša'' also almost vanished from the North Adriatic island of [[Krk]], although almost recently it was well known in all Western parts of Croatia, while in other parts as ''Dodola''.<ref name="Milcetic">{{cite journal |last=Milčetić |first=Ivan |date=1896 |title=Prporuša |journal=Zbornik za narodni život i običaje južnih Slavena |location=Belgrade |publisher=[[JAZU]] |volume=1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8TwSAAAAYAAJ |pages=217–218 |quote=Čini mi se da je već nestalo prporuše i na otoku Krku, a bijaše još nedavno poznata svuda po zapadnim stranama hrvatskog naroda, dok je po drugim krajevima živjela dodola.

Jovović, koga sam pitao, da li još Crnogorci poznaju koledu...}}</ref> Croatian linguist Josip Ribarić recorded in 1916 that it was still alive in Southwestern Istria and [[Ćićarija]] (and related it to the 16th century migration from Dalmatia of speakers of [[Southwestern Istrian]] dialect).<ref name="Ribaric"/> On island of Krk was also known as ''Barburuša/Barbaruša/Bambaruša'' (occurrence there is possibly related to the 15th century migration which included besides Croats also [[Vlachs of Croatia|Vlach]]-[[Istro-Romanians|Istro-Romanian]] shepherds{{sfn|Zebec|2005|p=68–71, 248}}).{{sfn|Čulinović-Konstantinović|1963|p=80}}{{sfn|Zebec|2005|p=71}} It was also widespread in [[Dalmatia]] (especially [[Zadar]] hinterland, coast and islands), [[Žumberak]] (also known as ''Pepeluše'', ''Prepelice''{{sfn|Muraj|1987|p=161}}) and Western [[Slavonia]] (Križevci).<ref name="Ralston"/><ref name="Revija"/><ref name="Horvat"/>{{sfn|Zebec|2005|p=71}}{{sfn|Čulinović-Konstantinović|1963|p=78, 80–81}}{{Sfn|Dragić|2007|p=291–293}} It was held in Istria at least until the 1950s,{{sfn|Čulinović-Konstantinović|1963|p=82}} in Žumberak until the 1960s,{{sfn|Muraj|1987|p=165}} while according to one account in [[Jezera, Tisno|Jezera]] on island [[Murter]] the last were in the late 20th century.{{Sfn|Dragić|2007|p=292}} In Serbia, Perperuna was only found in [[Kosovo]], Southern and Eastern Serbia near Bulgarian border.{{sfn|Čulinović-Konstantinović|1963|p=79}} According to [[Natko Nodilo]] the discrepancy in distribution between these two countries makes an idea that originally Perperuna was Croatian while Dodola was Serbian custom.{{sfn|Nodilo|1981|p=50a|ps=:Po tome, pa i po različitome imenu za stvar istu, mogao bi ko pomisliti, da su dodole, prvim postankom, čisto srpske, a prporuše hrvatske. U Bosni, zapadno od Vrbasa, zovu se čaroice. Kad bi ovo bilo hrvatski naziv za njih, onda bi prporuše bila riječ, koja k nama pregje od starih Slovenaca.}} Seemingly it was not present in Slovenia, Northern Croatia, almost all of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro (only sporadically in [[Boka Kotorska]]).{{sfn|Muraj|1987|p=159}} Luka Jovović from [[Virpazar]], Montenegro reported in 1896 that in Montenegro existed some ''koleda'' custom for summer droughts, but was rare and since 1870s not practiced anymore.<ref name="Milcetic"/>

According to [[Albanian folk beliefs]], the Sun ([[Dielli (Albanian paganism)|Dielli]]) makes the sky cloudy or clears it up.{{sfn|Tirta|2004|pp=71–72}}{{sfn|Gjoni|2012|pp=85–86}} Albanians used to invoke the Sun with rainmaking and soil fertility rituals. In rainmaking rituals from the [[Albanian Ionian Sea Coast]], Albanians used to pray to the Sun, in particular facing Mount [[Shëndelli]] (Mount "Holy Sun"), by invoking the names ''Dielli'', ''Shën Dëlliu'', ''Ilia'' or ''[[Perëndi]]a''. Children used to dress a boy with fresh branches, calling him ''dordolec''. A typical invocation song repeated three times during the ritual was:{{sfn|Gjoni|2012|pp=85–86}} Afterwards, people used to say: ''Do kemi shi se u nxi Shëndëlliu'' ("We will have rain because ''Shëndëlliu'' went dark").{{sfn|Gjoni|2012|pp=85–86}} The Sun used to be also invoked when reappearing after the rain, prayed for increased production in agriculture.{{sfn|Gjoni|2012|pp=85–86}}

Me lot e logori
Thekëri gjer mbë çati,
Gruri gjer në Perëndi.</small>

Kano Isus Mariji
Kaj Marija Isusu
Kano mati djetetu</small>
