Oeka from Finnish mythology (from Fins Mana, the Estonians Toonela, Tooni).

According to popular beliefs, Manala separated the land of the dead from the land of the living. This river flowed in a deep gorge. Its waters were a rapid stream of swords and spears. A thread-bridge led through Manala, and on the other bank a monstrous guard with iron teeth and three dogs was waiting for the deceased. Immersion in the waters of Manala meant final death.
