But now there aren’t any straw mats. Now we put floorboards in the rooms,

157 (c) nə starì gudìni in’ète bil’à gi nəpràime tàm u pi̥šnìk’u

even in old age we do them up new, [like] the oven room up there.

On your feet. So now there are these boards.

But back then we put clay on the ground. And you plaster it on higher up [too],

175 (c) əmə i nìj pu̥tkuàəmi dè trìte ni stài gòre putkuàni
