Roman Godfrey-Upir. An Upir is a mythological creature from Eastern European folklore. In Russian stories, they are a type of vampire or ghoul, who feeds upon the blood and flesh of their children and family. Upir may also be spelled as Upyr, Opir, Upior or Upier. 2  On Hemlock Grove, both Peter Rumancek and his mother, Lynda Rumancek, immediately recognized Roman Godfrey as an Upir, but suspected that he was unaware of his true heritage.
Coir ( /ËkÉÉªÉr/), or coconut fibre, is a natural fibre extracted from the husk of coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes and mattresses. Coir is the fibrous material found between the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut. Other uses of brown coir (made from ripe coconut) are in upholstery padding, sacking and horticulture. White coir, harvested from unripe coconuts, is used for making finer brushes, string, rope and fishing nets.
