From "mijeh" [bellows/wineskin/goatskin]; Podravina region (Bjelovar-Križevci area (Kapela; Veliki Raven; Ždralovi); Delovi (parish Novigrad Podravski); Ferdinandovac; Vukosavljevica); Slavonia region (Bektež (➺ Miješ, and Mišina); Veliko Vukovje).

According to Širola, the left front and one hind leg are tied up before pulling the bag inside out; The other hind leg is tied up together with the rear opening of the bag; If, however, the 2nd hind leg isn’t tied up at its base, as usual, the result would be a "sleeve" [?], the function of which I find hard to imagine.

Glavna mješina, Meh, Mej, Mešina, Miješ, Mišina
