And what did you make out of the goat hair?

114 (a) àlišt'ètə̥

Thick rugs.

115 (MM) ɤ̀ àlištèta dà xɤ̀ i a àlištata kàk se rabòt'ɤt

Thick rugs, yes. Huh! And how did you make the thick rugs?

116 (a) mi i t'è nə nə dumàšen dəràk vlàčiš kòzinàtə

Well, you card the goat hair on – on a home carder,

117 (a) sètne e prèdeš nə rudàn'

and then you spin it on the spinning wheel.

119 (a) i slet tuvà jə təčèš nə àlištè jə nəpràiš

And after that you weave it. You make it into the thick rug,

120 (a) i jə udnisèš nə tupàvicàtə i gu stùpə

and take it to the fulling mill, and it fulls it,

121 (a) i stàne càl' živòt s ednò àlištè də prekàrəš

and it becomes a thick rug that will last you your whole life.

We used to sleep in the fields. In the evening we lie down and spread out below [us]

89 (a) ed’ìn kòzənik i udgòr’e səs kòz’ənik pràwim təč’èm gi ut kòzitɛ̏

a goat-hair rug, and above [us] a goat-hair rug. We make them, weave them from goats.

90 (a) kòzina prid’èm’e i təč’èm kòzənik i tə nə tèpəwcətə ìməwme

We spin the goat-hair and weave the rug, and then to the fulling mill. We used to have

91 (a) təpəwdž’ɛ̀ri nə s’àko s’èlo ìmə wɑ̀l’ət gi kòz’ənik

fullers, there’s one in each village. They full the goat-hair rugs [for us].

107 (a) tàm nə n’ìvətə nə bùctȅ l’ežì lì t kɑ̀zvəm

out there in the field, you lie on those lumps, like I told you,

108 (a) kòz’enikə i s kòz’ənikə pukrìt ša wɑ̀di l’àp

[on] the goat-hair rug, and covered with a goat-hair rug, all to earn some bread.

115 (GK) ə kàk se z tì znàči ə kòz’inicit’è nə tepəvəčàrite gi dàvaxti̥

So how – these goat-rugs, you gave them to the fullers, [right]?

116 (a) jà sə nìj si gi istəč’èm pr’id’èm kòzintȁ istəč’èm gu

Yes we- we weave them, we spin the goat hair and weave [the rug],

117 (a) i dàvəme gu nə təpəwdž’ɛ̀r’ə uwɑ̀l’ə gu stàwɑ hùbɑwu hùbɑwu ə kòzənik

and we give it to the fuller. He fulls it and it comes out nice, a nice goat-hair rug.

118 (a) səšìvəme gu h č’ètiri plàta nìj a tòl’kis plàtove təč’èm

We sew it in four separate pieces. We weave it in pieces this wide, [and]

120 (a) kəd gì səjdin’ìm č’ètiri plàtə kəd gì uwɑ̀l’əš stàni ubiknuv’ènnu kòzənik

when we join the four pieces, when you full them, it becomes normal – a goat-hair rug.

121 (a) pust’ìləme gu hùbɑwu hùbɑwu stɑ̀wə pustìləme gu spìm nə n’ègu

[the kind] we spread [on the floor]. It turns out really nice. We spread it out, sleep on it

122 (a) səd’ìm nə n’ègu n’èməše pl’ùš’eni ràbuti tugàs

sit on it – there weren’t any of these plushy things back then.
