Saměikinnə [?] (gender unknown)
original: самѣикиннъ [?]
Bagpipe (unknown type)
Private interpretation of a hardly legible Cyrillic term in Kuhač, according to whom it is an Old Slavic name for a bagpipe; NB¹: The Cyrillic letter "yat" (Ѣ [ě]) prevents the usual palatalisation of a consonant (i.e. in this case the M) before the И (which results in the pronunciation Samikinnə [instead of sam'ikinnə]); NB²: The final ə (known as "shwa" [IPA transcription of the cyrillic ъ]) is pronounced as the e in garden; NB³: ➺ Saměikə.
