The folk tradition of other nations constains several similarities in the stories abouth the seventh child of the same sex. Such a child is supposed to be a deity, a demonic creature, or a wizard. Researchers of folk epic and narrative tradition have discovered that Zeleni Jurij and Marjetica were marked as the tenth children as well. Zeleni Jurij i sa deity which, according to folklore, brings renewal and fertility in spring, while his sister Marjetica is dedicated to the female counterpart of this deity. In folk songs the tenth son and the tenth daughter are either the tithe destined to the deities Perun and Mokoš, or else represent the two deities themselvesDesetnik in desetnica (tudi deveti, dvanajsti, trinajsti otrok istega spola) sta se do danes ohranila v ljudskem izročilu Slovanov, Baltov in Ircev kot zaznamovana oz predestinirana višjim ciljem. Pri drugih narodih opazimo nekaj podobnosti z izročilom o sedmem, zapovrstjo rojenem otroku istega spola. Tak otrok naj bi bil bodisi božanstvo, demonsko bitje ali vrač. Raziskave ljudskega pesemskega in pripovednega izročila so pokazale, da je kot desetnik lahko zaznamavan tudi Zeleni Juri, boštvo, ki naj bi prineslo pomladno obnovo in rodovitnost, kot desetnica pa njegova sestra Marjetica, posvečena ženskemu božanstvu rojstva in smrti. Desetnik in desetnica sta po ljudskih pesmih desetina, namenjena božanstvoma Perunu in Mokoši oz. poosebljata božanstvi samiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZRC SAZU
