204 (GK) sìčkәtә vɤ̀lnә ednàkvә li e dèto jә ustrìgvәš

Is all wool the same, from everywhere that you shear it?

205 (a) tìjә nàš nàšte òfci tugàj i sɤgà sә me̝ronòsəni saà ìma

Our sheep then (and now) are the Merino sort. Now we have

206 (a) znàči krәstòsәni se ә tugàj bèa na nàšte čèrnә vɤ̀lnә i bèlә vɤ̀lnә

crossbreeds. But then ours had both black and white wool.

207 (GK) kàk sә vìkә tàә čèrnәtә

How do you call the black kind?

208 (a) mi čèrnә vɤ̀lna tàa e

Well, it’s black wool.

209 (GK) samočèrkә

“Samocherka”?

210 (a) à à à čèrnә si vɤ̀lnә znàči čèrnәtә vɤ̀lnә ә tùrәš uddòlu vәf tuvà

Well, black wool is – you put the black wool below in this [place],

211 (a) bèlәtә uddèlnu kәtu a nòsiš nә vlәčàrkә ženìte predàt

and [you put] the white separately, take it to the carder, women spin,

164 (a) seà še a təkòvəme seà še jə pòč’epkàm əf č’èpkətə cɤ̀rnətə dàže

and now we’ll deal with it, I’ll card it with the carder. The black [first]

165 (a) t'a i b’èlətə òšte màlku

and [there’s] still a bit more white [to do].

38 (VZh) ami vɤ̀lnata ìma li razlìčni imenà v zavìsimost ot tovà otkədè

So does wool have different names depending on where

39 (VZh) še jə ostrižèš znàči dalì še e ot nogàta na ofcàta

you shear it from? Like if it’s from the sheep’s leg?

40 (a) à rəzlìčno sàmu dènu e pò̝ kàlenkə nɛ̀kədɛ nàa

Oh! It’s different only where it’s more muddy. Those parts –

41 (a) mò də je ə izberèš pò zə f nɛ̀kvu pò̝ pròstu də pràiš

you can choose them for – to make something more simple.

42 (a) pəg dènu zə hùbəvu nɛ̀štu zə blùzi zə ednò drùgu

But for something nice – for blouses or for something else [like that] –

43 (a) č'e pə gl'ɔ̀dəš pò hùbəfkənə izbìrəš'

you’ll look and find the nicer parts.

46 (VZh) ama n'àma drùgo ìme tovà da mu vìkate bəžɛ̀k tùkə na tàa

But isn’t there some other name that you call it, like “hip” for this here –

47 (a) bəžɛ̀ci ìnače ta agà e nɛ̀kvu kàl'enu də e kàl'enu

“Hips”, well that’s when it’s sort of muddy – a muddy [part]

48 (a) ud ufcɔ̀nə təgà mòe də je də ustàiš' nɛ̀kəde

of the sheep and you can leave it somewhere,

49 (a) màlku pò pəràtkəu pə əgà zə hàli̥šte gu iskàvəme prepisàci

for something less good. But when we weave rugs and aprons,

50 (a) sìčku nə ədnò mɛ̀stu rəš'č'èš'eš' i sə nəvlàč'i

everything in one place. You comb it and it gets carded,.

51 (a) i stàne hùbəvu

and it turns out nice
