I pastured their sheep, cows, cattle, and this rich woman made a “zelnik” (pie).

116 (a) a zèlnik znàeti li što è

Do you know what “zelnik” is?

118 (a) nasrèt ə zèl’e i onà sèdnemo dvàma sìna ìma

Greens in the middle [of it]. So we sit down, she has two sons

123 (a) a na sinovète od zèlnikɤt odrèže

But for her sons she slices up the pie [and says]

92 (a) i nà i zel’ànik se omèsi kolačèta takà se omèsu

And you make banitsa with greens, and they make up little buns

And “zelnik” (pastry with greens as filling)?

67 (a) i z’èlnikɤ peč’ème

We baked “zelnik” also.

And what goes inside that?

69 (a) ta tòj z’èlnikət peč’ème al’è s nèkvi žàl’kᵊi kaprìvi kàk gi zav’ème

We baked “zelnik” only with these – nettles. Nettles, how did we call them?

71 (a) i hi ber’ème na ə na amᵊìjeme gɤ nadrabìme gɤ

We pick them, then wash them and chop them,

72 (a) azàm mu slò klad’ème arìšk’e klad’ème mu kòrᵊi mu isùč’eme

and then add some rice, and put them into the pastry sheets, roll it out,

73 (a) ispìč’ame z’èlnikat’e

and bake the “zelnik”.
