Saturday/ a little Ukrainian

I ran into this 2018 set of Ukrainian stamps while researching the stamp with the Russian warship on (Thursday’s post).
The characters are too cute for words (but each has a letter, and a word, nonetheless).

I compiled the table below with a little help from Google Translate.
ЕНЕЛЯТКО stumped it, though : a word that has to be Ukrainian for alien or extraterrestrial.
ҐАВА was also a problem; must be raven, I thought⁠— but another online translator indicated it is crow.
ПИРОГИ looked like hats in the tree, but turned out to be pyroghie pies, in fact.

UKRANIAN ALPHABET, says the lettering at the top. The modern Ukrainian alphabet consists of 33 letters. The set of letters is one of several national variations of the Cyrillic script.
