Summary/Abstract: During the fieldwork expeditions carried out in Romanian part of Banat, in the regions of Klisura (June 2017) and Poljadija (June 2019) two testimonies were taken from elder Serbian women, in which they described how, when they were still not married, their mothers had taught them the way to predict the name of their future husband by using a rod of the warp beam. The transcriptions of these testimonies are compared by focusing on their common key elements (time, actions, objects, the manifestation of the expected result), which are analysed from the semiotic perspective and within a broader context of South-Slavic ethnographic material and folklore related to weaving, the loom and its parts, especially their use in magic. A special attention is put on a analysis of a variant of the same type of prenuptial predicting recorded among Krashovani in the second half of the 20th century.
