Quick note about Paparuda

I think that Paparuda is Persephone.  I can not be certain.
I don't have time to write much now.  But before I forget- I think Paparuda = Papaluga = Pepeljuga = Cinderella.  Shivers!

I do not have time to write today.  But Elizabeth Wayland Barber wrote that Paparuda is somehow related to Perun.  I disagree.

UPDATE:  oops!  I guess she is correct.  Here is a link to Wikpedia.  It shows Paparuda as the wife of Perun...

I was in a hurry and did not take notes.  Now, I can't find the page that connected Paparuda to Papalluga - I hope it's a variant spelling.

UPDATE 2:  Found a list of names of Cindrerella.  I count 9 languages where Cinderella ressembles Paparuda.  It's on the Wikipedia page for Cinderella:
