They are different and the ease with what they have been created lead to a conclusion that it has been a pattern at some time, assuming that there is a Mother for every thing and activity. Some of them have quite clear descriptions and functions (as Veja mate – Mother of Winds, Zemes mate – Mother of Soil/Land, Velu mate – Mother of the Dead Souls (veli), etc.), the others are mentioned just
