So we put – we buy the warp, the warp for rugs. We buy skeins,

268 (a) cɤ̀rni čelèta o òsnuvà gu nàvià gu vdɛ̀nemè gu

black skeins. I make the warp, I wind it all around and thread it

269 (a) f nìš'tel'k'i v bɤ̀rdu òpna razbòe tùra

through the heddle onto the reed comb, stretch it out on the loom, and

270 (a) z prìvɤrzà gu lùpam lùpam i mɛ̀tam i sufàlč'ata tkàa

and tie it down tight. Then I bang, bang, throw the shuttle, and weave.

271 (a) nàtkaa mɛ̀ra kòlku ìskam da e dɤ̀lgu kòlku da e širòku

I finish weaving, I measure how long and how wide I want it to be, and

272 (a) tòlkuà gu nàsnuva i se tčè a pa resnàč'ite

I make the warp just that size. And you weave. As for the tasseled blankets,

276 (a) i pòsle sùč'eme na rudàne usnuvème navìeme vdɛ̀neme

Then we twist it on the spinning wheel. We warp [it], wind [it], thread [it],

68 (a) nìškite dèka gi snovème pa usnuvème pa gu snovèm na na duvàra

We make the “shed” and then –

70 (GK) kàk sa lòvi kàk kàk sa pl kàk sa snovè

How do you make [it], how – how do you warp [the loom]?

71 (a) takà mi zèmeme ednà ednò takà snovàtelka se kàzva dvè drvèta

Well, we take this – it’s called a spool-frame. [There’s] two pieces of wood

here and in the middle, with holes here and here,

73 (a) i želèzni prɤ̀čki vɤ̀tre tùrime masùrčeta ìma:me tùrime ednò

We put in the spools and the threads.

79 (a) kùxo dà kùxo to vɤ̀tre ìma dùpkḁ nèkoi gi pràvea tovà

Hollow, yes, hollow. And there’s a hole inside. Some [people] made them,

80 (a) vretenàrkite gi pràea i si go osnovème i si gu tɤčè

spindle-makers made them. And we warp it, and weave,

I remember my granny dragging a washtub down the street.

83 (a) dà dà i tovà sa navìva tɤ̀j go ponavìem tò sa

Yes, yes! They wind up [as it drags], and we wind them up, and it –

84 (a) to sa osnovè togiva go tùrnem na korìtoto tùrneme stanɤ̀

the warp gets set, and we put it on the washtub. We set up the loom

85 (a) ta go navìeme pa mòže i na dvà kòlci

And then we wind it up, it can be on two stakes.

87 (a) ot tùk kòl’ i ot tùk kòl’i dvà kàmɤn’e

here and there [to measure] how long we want it to be,

3 (a) kòlko làkti da ni bùdu kojà naprèla pòveče

how many elbow-lengths. The one who has spun more –

4 (a) pòveče vḷ̀nu ìma napredè pòveče làkti

[the one who has] more wool will spin more elbow-lengths,

6 (a) kojà pò màlko no mètrove ga sɤ̀g zovù

and the one who has less – well, now they call it meters, but then

7 (a) ma tegàj zovèšemo làkti na làk [laughter]

but back then we used to call it elbow-lengths, [measuring] by an elbow.

9 (a) se osnovè pa se tegàj navìe na krosnò

You warp it, and then you wind it onto the beam,

How do you warp, after you take it from warp [threads]?

104 (a) nə kəlàme e nəsùkənu

It’s wound onto spools,

106 (a) i jə nə nəftùr’enu nə təkʌ̀vutu nə snòvətə

and put onto this, onto the warp,

107 (a) i kət jə mùšnətu fs’àku kunč’ètu i sùrni sùrni i naɨ̀əš

99 (a) agà gu pàk vd'èneš vɤf nìtᵚi i v gr'èbene

101 (a) i pòsle gu klàdeš af stanàte tač'èš

And then you put it onto the loom, and you weave.

Tǔrnjane 2

23 (a) ama bàbičkite sa prèle za osnòva pa sme si tkàle
