ATU-Erzähltypen

Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

The text explains a landmark image and reports a practical milk exchange during plague. The retrieved ATU candidates have unrelated animal, city and stone plots; no candidate reproduces the source’s simple boundary-milking explanation.

Thompson-Motive

No supported passage-motif assignment. Individual finding notes: o1: This is a descriptive account of a landmark’s carved cow and pail; D1652.3.1 requires a cow with inexhaustible milk, while the source records no miraculous milk. o2: The report says villagers milked cows outside the city during plague because townspeople feared entering, and the townspeople collected it. B155.2.2 concerns a settlement founded where a cow stops and milk flows by itself; neither founding nor miraculous flow occurs.

  Textbelege und Katalog

  The carved stone is expressly said to indicate the exact place where cows were driven and milked during the plague. That is the broad “Marking the place” motif J1922; the source states the marker’s function directly, rather than relying on the cow image alone.
