Comment: It used to be performed while the bride was entering to her new home. The melody of the first, slow song has been played to already mentioned lane model, in variant specific for its dude accompaniment. The next melody has a contrasting, dance character, and it has also been shaped in the way characteristic for the older layer of traditional playing of these regions (Andor Végh) and it has been performed with crying out of rhymed couplets.
