In total, in the dialects of the Karelian language there are about 80 dialectisms denoting this image. The names in question are quite widely represented in the linguistic picture of the Karelian world: phraseological units, proverbs, ditties. The novelty of the study is due to the lack of knowledge of this vocabulary using the material of the Karelian language. The relevance of the study is determined by the intensification of conceptual studies over the past two decades, as well as the special interest of linguists in the class of discursive words that organize communication and saturate the text with subjective-evaluative, persuasive-modal, pragmatic means. During the analysis, ethnolinguistic, semantic-motivational and comparative methods were used. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was the scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists in the field of linguistics and folklore. The sources for collecting language material were dialect and phraseological dictionaries of the Karelian language. As a result of the study, it can be argued that the attributes ruma and tuhmu / tuhma have a wide range of existence of dialect forms of these lemmas, their word-formation productivity and participation in the formation of idioms, and are also represented in the Karelian linguistic picture of the world.
