Source term: вращаемые «гуделки»
вращаемые «гуделки» (vrashchayemye gudelki, Russian) = "swung hummers" — the Sheikin school's bullroarer class (412.21), named in opposition to the propeller buzzers («вихревые жужжалки», 412.22)
Teleut herders and hunters made swung gudelki as working noise-tools on the Kuznetsk steppe. Listed beside whistling switches, cracking whips, and buzzers, they were fashioned on the spot, used to manage animals in open country, and thrown away.
…свистящий прут, хлопающий бич, вихревые «жужжалки» и вращаемые «гуделки», они функционируют в качестве одноразовых инструментов у пастухов, охотников.
...the whistling switch, the cracking whip, whirring buzzers and swung gudelki — they function as single-use instruments of herders and hunters.
