“The winds are evil over Canada”, “Above the window is a month. Wind under the window”, “Hey, barguzin, stir the shaft!”, “Night marshmallow streams ether”, “Snowstorm, blizzard”, “Let the storm hit harder!”, As well as “Hostile whirlwinds” and kamikaze, all not mentioned by night , the wind of change, finally (I don’t want to remember about Nord-West at all) - we know all this from songs and poems. I wonder if poetry would gain more if it used all the possible names of the winds, and there are countless of them.

Literary critics, of course, have calculated how many approximately each classic of Russian literature has statements that realize the image of the wind. It turns out a lot - more than fifty. And there is also European literature. What about Chinese poetry? And the Japanese one? A common person manages a small set various definitions of winds. We all know about the blizzard, snowstorm, snowstorm. A HURRICANE came from the language of the Indians (to tell the truth, there is another version about the Turkic origin of the word, but storms and storms in Central America among the Kiche tribes were caused by “Hurakan” - the one-legged god of thunder and thunderstorms,

any bad weather and storms, and this is convincing). The Chinese word dai-feng - big wind - has become the well-known TYPHOON. Those who paid tribute to travel books in their childhood cannot but remember the MISTRAL - a strong, gusty, cold and dry wind of northern directions, MUSSONS (very strong seasonal winds) and TRADE WINDS (easterly winds towards the equator).

Oh my dear, my incomparable lady,

My icebreaker is sad, and my navigator is looking south,

And, imagine that a star from the constellation Cygnus

Directly through the copper window looks mine.

Directly into the same window the wind flies,

Referred to in different places either monsoon or trade wind.

He flies in and leafs through the letters with a clear smile,

Unsent because the addressee disappeared. (Vizbor).

How the child's imagination was affected by the description of SAMUMA (poisoned heat) - the fiery wind, the breath of death - a hot, dry storm in the deserts, or SIROCCO - a very dusty storm wind blowing from the deserts. And those who read Paustovsky should remember SORANG - according to legend, the legendary hot night wind in Scotland, observed once every several hundred years.

Many people remember from the mythology BOREAS - the cold north wind, in many places on the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the deity of the north wind in Greek mythology. Or ZEFIR - warm and humid on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea (Greece, Italy) and the deity of this wind in Greek mythology. And also AQUILON - cold north in Rome and the corresponding deity. Less well known is ARGEST, a dry wind in Greece and, of course, a deity. And the wind is, for example, WHITE. This is a very good wind, probably, many people love it: a dry and warm wind in good weather without precipitation. AT different countries he has different names: Tongara putih, Levant, Maren, Otan, Levkonotos. And on Lake Seliger, either an IDLE or a Married wind blows. There is, it turns out, the Wind of France - Biz, visas - the north wind in the mountainous regions of France, Italy, Switzerland. It plays a significant role in shaping living conditions and is accompanied by a significant cooling.

There is black biz (biz noir, biz negro), there is twilight or brown. And what beautiful names winds from the Arabs (sea and desert travelers) - ZOBAA (in desert Egypt), KASKAZI - off the southeastern coast of Arabia, IRIFI - strong dust storms in the Sahara and Morocco, sometimes bringing swarms of locusts to the Canary Islands. KALEMA - very strong wind and ocean surf off the western shores North Africa with waves reaching 6 meters in height. Kalema is also observed in other places of the ocean coasts - California and India. Khababai - on the shores of the Red Sea.

Even for sandstorms there is more than one name: HABUB, JANI, HAVA JANUBI, the famous KHAMSIN. And the Spaniards, who conquered the seas and oceans? Imberno, Abrego, Criador, Colla, Collada, LOS BRISOTES DE LA SAITE MARIA, TEMPORAL, PAMPERO in the Andes and on the Atlantic coast, PARAMITO in Colombia, ALICIO on canary islands, CORDONASO and CHUBASCO in Mexico. Of course, the masters of the seas of the 18-19th century could not remain silent, and we know many English titles winds. But there are also lesser known ones. English learners come across the idiom dog days - dog days - a period of light winds and hot weather, often with thunderstorms. And in the ports of the United States and Canada, workers called the storm with sleet, slush and splashing waves - BARBER (scratched the skin like a bad hairdresser). In Australia, there is a thunderstorm DRINK, or STRAIGHT-EYED BOB.

And it seems not at all poetic in sound, but it is possible that very glorious German names: ALLERHEILIGENWIND - a warm wind in the Alps, or MOATZAGOTL (goat's beard) - in the Sudetes. Surely in German poetry sounded BERNSHTEINVIND (amber wind) - the wind from the sea on the Baltic coast Kaliningrad region. In Japan, the wind has always been given great importance. The infamous KAMIKAZE is the divine wind in the mythology of Japan. According to legend, in 1281 he sank a squadron of ships of Khubilai, the grandson of Genghis Khan. But there are many other winds in Japan: KOGARASHI - a wind with snow, MATSUKAZE - a small breeze, autumn HIROTO, cloudy YAMASE. And a very good wind in beautiful weather - SUZUKAZE. "The winds sound" in other languages. LU, bow, feces - hot, dry, sultry and very dusty wind from the Himalayas to Delhi. (Lu has been reported to have lethargic sleep leading to memory loss.)

ADJINA-SHAMOL - squally damn wind blowing in Tajikistan and uprooting trees. BATTIKALOA KACCHAN - a warm wind on about. Sri Lanka. (He received the nickname of a madman, as it negatively affects the condition of some patients). TAN GA MB I L I - in Equatorial Africa and on Zanzibar, which is called violent. AKMAN, tukman - a strong snowstorm in Bashkiria, marking the transition to spring. Indonesian winds TENGGARA and PANAS UTARA, Mexican (Aztec word) - TEHUANTEPEKERO, Yakut SOBURUUNGU TYAL, Afghan BAD-I-SAD-O-BISTROS, Bengali BAISHAK, Nigerian, demolishing the roofs of houses - GADARI, Hawaiian UKIUKIU. Forty-day Shamal Persian Gulf. And the winds in Russia? There is so much one blizzard: a blizzard, a veya, a fan, a blizzard, a chicken, a borosho, and together with it - a snowdrift, a drag, a crawl, a poderukha, diarrhea, a drag. SOLODNIK, head - at the mouth of the Kolyma River.

BABIY WIND - weak Kamchatka wind. POLUNOCHNIK - a northeast wind in the north, blowing from high latitudes, on the Yenisei it is called rekostave, frostbite. PADARA - a storm with snow and wind.

There are also common names, for example, the famous LEVAN (levant) - the east wind on the Mediterranean, Black and Seas of Azov(from Gibraltar to Kuban) or GARBIY - the southern sea wind in Italy, as well as on the Black and Azov Seas. In the Yalta Bay, it whips up a high wave and is able to throw a fishing boat ashore.

We can't hide from the winds. Wind I'm over, and you're alive.

And the wind, complaining and crying, Rocks the forest and the cottage.

Not every pine tree separately, but completely all trees

With all the boundless distance, Like sailboats of the body

On the surface of the ship's bay. And it's not out of the blue

Or out of aimless rage, And in anguish to find words

You for a lullaby song.

Boris Pasternak

Education local winds associated with the nature of the underlying surface (orography, type of surface - water or land) and temperature. Breezes are local winds of thermal origin. They are better expressed in cloudless anticyclonic weather and are especially often manifested on the western coasts of the tropics, where heated continents are washed by the waters of cold currents. We grouped other local winds depending on their properties and origin (temperature or type of landscape over which they form) into three groups: cold, mountain-valley and desert. Separately, the local names of the Baikal winds were given.

What was the wind for our ancestors? At first glance, it seems - not as important a phenomenon as water, which gave life to crops or brought floods, and not as important as fire, which brings warmth to the hearth or deathly and devastation by fire. In fact, the wind meant no less.

A clear confirmation of this: in any culture there was a god of the wind, who was depicted in frescoes and paintings, who was worshiped and made sacrifices. Moreover, the wind was the most mysterious of all the elements: in ancient times, it seemed to people who did not know the physical causes of its occurrence, non-material. Fire appeared from a lightning strike, it could be caused by friction, water flowed in rivers and spilled from the sky. The wind came from nowhere, but its power was palpable: it could overtake rain clouds irrigating crops - or, on the contrary, could dry up fields and destroy seedlings, cause a storm that breaks trees and nails cereals to the ground ... They completely and completely depended on the whim of the winds sailors. Fishermen are aware of the effect of wind on the bite, and hunters determine the movement air currents so that the prey does not smell them ahead of time.

Although in ancient times people did not know such words - modern biologists recognize the most important role of wind in the life of any plants, their pollination and various metabolic processes, soil scientists note the significant influence of wind on the formation of relief and soil composition (for example, due to wind erosion - "blowing" top layers of the earth). Well, meteorologists, of course, can tell a lot about the role of wind in the formation of underwater currents, temperature differences, and even its effect on the well-being of people and animals.

Even without having that arsenal scientific knowledge, which we have now, the ancients noted the undoubted influence of the wind on the life of nature - and therefore their own. They animated the wind, communicated with it, trying to explain its changeable behavior, and tried in every possible way to appease. Moreover, noticing that the winds blow from different directions of the world, they are cold and warm, humid and withering, the ancient peoples often "appointed" several deities responsible for the air element at once.

The ancient Greeks considered Aeolus, a young demigod who lived on the distant Aeolian Islands in the western sea, to be the ruler of the winds. Eol was the son of a mortal woman and the sea god Poseidon (which proves once again that for the ancient Greeks, the relationship between sea currents, waves and wind was obvious). The Hellenes themselves had several "wind gods". Boreas was considered the personification of the harsh north wind. He was portrayed as winged long hair, beard and always stern face. "Boreas" in Greek meant "roaring", "noisy". But, despite the loudness, the Greeks loved Boreas - he brought them exceptionally favorable weather, drove the ships and contributed to the future good harvest, and once even destroyed the fleet of the Persian king Xerxes, who went to war against the Athenians. In general, Boreas did not bode well for the inhabitants of Africa, always bringing with it rains and extremely bad weather. The Romans called this same wind Aquilon or Arcgurus, while the Egyptians called it Kehu, “ram's forehead”.

The god of the west wind named Zephyr was considered the herald and herald of other gods. "Zephyros" meant "dark": for the Greeks, this air current always brought storms and thunderstorms. Later, the ancient Romans "appointed" Zephyr as the personification of a soft, caressing breeze - for them, as well as for the peoples of the West, he just promised a favorable spring weather convenient for sailing.

The god of the south wind Notus, like Boreas, was usually depicted with a beard and wings: his temper was also not easy. "Notos" in Greek means "wet", which immediately tells us important characteristic this wind: Notus was damp, and at the beginning of every summer brought to Greece foggy, rainy and warm weather, which worsened the visibility of sailors and spoiled the health of ordinary citizens. The southeast wind - Eurus, or Euros, one of the sons of Eol, was often dry, but sometimes brought dampness. It still blows in those parts in winter, usually at the turn of the day and night. It is curious that he was the only one of all the wind deities who was devoid of anthropomorphism - Evra was never portrayed as a human-like creature. In company with Noth or Zephyr, Eurus often sank Hellenic ships.

The east wind came to Palestine from the desert, hot and parched. There he was called khamsin, and usually he brought misfortune - drought and subsequent famine. At the same time, Palestinian beliefs said that people born under east wind, in the future they will become happy and rich - apparently, as atonement for the hardships suffered at the very beginning of life.

In Mazdaism, the religion of the ancient Persians, the concept of "wind" meant the Universe itself, its influence on the Earth and people, both in the physical and in the energy sense. According to Muslim beliefs, the winds originated from the flapping wings of mythological birds supporting the throne of Allah.

The most famous god of the wind from the pantheon Eastern Slavs— of course, Stribog. He was usually represented in the form of a gray-haired old hermit living at the end of the world, in a dense forest or on an island in the middle of the sea-ocean. It is curious that Stribog was mentioned and revered along with Dazhbog, the god of rain. The name Stribog originated from the ancient root "streg" and meant "senior", "paternal uncle". According to myths, Stribog was born from the breath of Svarog - the main god, symbolizing the clan. In addition to other functions, Stribog was responsible for the connection between the Upper and Lower pagan worlds. By the way, according to folklorists, the cult of Stribog lived for an incredibly long time. This god was invoked by millers in the Don region back in the 19th century. They called him Stryb, and taught their children a kind of song-spell:

Blow, Stryba, to us from the sky,

We need bread for tomorrow!

Other gods of the wind among the Slavs, as in the beliefs of other peoples, personified different kinds winds. Depicted as a ruddy young man with fair-haired curls, Dogoda (aka Weather) symbolized a gentle wind, a pleasant breath of air on a clear day - in a word, good weather. Dogoda was not friends with his brother Pozvizd (Whistle), who, on the contrary, caused bad weather and storms. Rains flowed from Whistle's thick beard, and with his breath he caught up the fogs. If Whistle shook his head, hail fell on the ground. Podaga - a hot, withering wind - came from the south.

The Slavs also singled out the north wind - Siverko, which carried the cold from the Arctic Ocean. Siverko was stern, and only softened a little towards the summer. Most of the names of the western and eastern winds came from words denoting the corresponding side of the world: the eastern and northeastern winds were called "vstok", "vstochina", "vstochnik", western, in turn, - "westerner" or "sunset".

In Russia, the names of winds in general were often formed from the name of that side of the world or the area from where they came. For example, on the Volga, the wind from the south was called "marine", and the southeast - "gorych" or "upland"; on Baikal, the northeast wind was called "angara" after the name of the river flowing from Baikal. By the way, on Lake Baikal, where the wind blows almost always, more than thirty local names of winds are known. The peculiarity of the penetrating Baikal winds is that most of them blow along the coast and there are few shelters from them. Apparently, this has taught from antiquity local residents to distinguish one stream of cold air from another, in order to know where you can hide from the next.
