Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the etymological analysis of several Slavonic set expressions with mythological semantics, which occasionally occur in the folklore texts belonging to the genres of “keening” and “spell”. The author makes the conclusion about Proto-Slavonic chronology of the analyzed language units (*Velešь jьrьjь, *velьji lǫky), preserving in their composition the archaic lexemes (*Veles-jь, *velь-jь), lost in the independent usage (as individual words), and sets their genetic relations. It is emphasized that the reconstructed phrases belong to a kind of poetic language, related to the ritualized actions. Сomparison with Old Iranian *Arta-farnah- is proposed for reconstructed *sъlnьce pravo / pravьdьno.
