Erratic boulder
The flicked stone between Lõetsa and Lalli
Lõetsa ja Lalli vaheline nõmmekivi
On a pasture beside the road between Lõetsa and Lalli in eastern Muhu, about a kilometre from Lõetsa, lies Nõmmekivi, the heath stone. Muhu people said Suur Tõll had simply flicked it off his fingertip, as a man flicks away a crumb, and it has lain on the pasture ever since. Parents pointed it out to their children on the way past. Muhu has many more such stones: in Tõll lore the island lay on his road between Saaremaa and the mainland, and he was forever dropping, throwing or tripping over boulders there.

Ida-Muhus Lõetsa ja Lalli vahelise tee ääres karjamaal, Lõetsast umbes kilomeetri kaugusel, lebab Nõmmekivi. Muhulased rääkisid, et Suur Tõll oli selle lihtsalt sõrmeotsalt minema nipsanud nagu leivapuru ja sellest ajast on kivi karjamaal lebanud. Vanemad näitasid seda mööda minnes lastele. Muhus on selliseid kive palju rohkemgi: Tõllu pärimuses jäi saar tema teele Saaremaa ja mandri vahel ning ta pillas, loopis ja komistas seal pidevalt rahnude otsa.
