Macedonian term or phrase: велез волес

велез волес

I don't know if this is understandable this way. The text itself is in German, there are only some remarks in Macedonian. Thanks in advance to everyone who will help.

English translation:a pagan god ?? / Vles, Veles

Explanation:
I'm not sure at all, but since I didn't find волес at all in Macedonian sources, but exclusively in russian ones, I tried to decipher those (would have been easier for elisabeth, but she isn't here at the moment), and from those I get the impression, that both велез and волес are forms of the name of a pagan god. Since you read Russian as well, you might find the references useful.

Greetings,

Nikolaus

Thanks, I've found those in the Russian sources, but the thing is, it is so impossible to imagine these names on the name tag of a digestive syrup, that I hoped for a meaning in Macedonian! Thanks anyway for all your help in these last few days.
