M. Murtić: Mavky arr. for flute, viola, and cello

“The Nawie or Nawki in Polish, the Mavka (Navka, Nyavka) in Ukrainian, or simply Nav' in some other Slavic languages are ghosts or the souls of persons that had met a tragic or premature death, particularly unchristened babies.

The traditional view is that Mavky live in the woods of Galicia (Ukraine) and the Carpathians. Mavky symbolize the souls of children who were born dead or died unbaptized. They often appear in the form of beautiful young girls dancing and singing to lure young men into the woods where they would tickle them to death and chop their heads off.

To save a baby's soul, one had to throw up a kerchief during Trinity holidays, say a name and add "I baptize you". A rescued soul would then go to heaven. If a soul lived up to seven years and did not go to heaven, a baby would turn into a mermaid or a Mavka and would haunt people. The term descends from PIE *navus ("corpse"), being cognate to Gothic naus ("dead"), Old Prussian nowis ("corpse"), and Tocharian naut ("to perish"). “
