Kaha means a path between two fences which leads reindeer into their corral.
Same source speaks of Loaus, Lord of Pohjola, who rules over moose and reindeer. However, the name Loaus comes from Saint Nicholas; other runosongs call the creator of moose and reindeer Hiisi. This runosong below also demonstrates a scenario where Pohjola and Tapiola have gotten mixed, making Louhi someone who rules over animals in a northern forest, but the term Siniviitta "Blue cape" is typically Mielikki's. Therefore, it can also be understood that the Lady here is Mielikki. "Sui" could be sliding motion like what a hairbrush makes when brushing.
  Siniviitta Pohjan eukko Sinun aittaisi avara Avaele aittoasi Luinen lukkoisi murenna Pane juonet juoksemahan Poikki Pohjolan joesta Sääret soikelehtamaan Kynnet keikelehtämään Kullaista kujaista myöten Hopiaista tietä myöten Vaskista vakoa myöten Silkki sillaksi rakenna Kujosille kultosille Uksille hopeisille Pisimmässä pohjaisessa Tuiman tunturin laelle Äläs sarvella satatak Tule siivolla sisällek Ilman turmin tuhkimatak Ilman kaalla iljanella Kalman kaalla kaljanmaalla Antaa lylyn luistaa Sui, sui suovaranpuu Annan mennä mäntysauvan Vittajuksen viuhutella |
