If [unintelligible] there was a wind. But you know, we were getting

102 (a) po mnògo pà ìde na na gerèna è tàm sɤs kòlata

a lot of them. And we take them down to the marshland in a cart

103 (a) i tàm ìma vèter štò ùlicata pò nèma vèter

because there’s wind there. Where there are streets, there isn’t enough wind

104 (a) a tàm ìma vèter i go odvèeme

but there’s wind there, so [that’s where] we winnow them.

105 (VZh) əmhə tò kàk se vèe zìmaš ot ut u tenekìi

Uh huh. And how do you winnow? Do you take these large tin boxes and –
