.&.&.&.&.& in the north, the deer is often used as .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& a symbol for the forest's agency, or &&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& its self-knowledge. watching eyes. .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& &&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& warmer regions instead ascribe it the .&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& knife (teeth, rumors of violence), or &&.&.&.&.&
.&.&.&.&.& obsession (unblinking eyes, always .&.&.&.&.&
