chickens

33 (a) ìmam pèt ku sèdam kokòški tovà e cèloto imàn’e [laughter]

I’ve got five – seven hens, and that’s it. Our entire holdings!

31 (a) čùvame i òfci i kòzi i kukòški i prasè i sìčko nalì

We raise sheep, and goats, and chickens, and pigs – everything, you know?

20 (a) dà kokòška pìle jajcè à gi ne pribrà

Yes. Hens, chicks, eggs – If I didn’t secure them away

58 (a) à ud ufc'ìte n'à əmə ut kukòškite im go i klàah

I don’t have any from sheep, but I put down some from chickens.

60 (a) kukòškite

The chickens –

62 (a) kukòškite im klàəm nəkvàs'əm gu i im klàəm i drubnì

I put [stuff] from the chickens down, water it, put down lumps [of it].

11 (a) isɤ̀jnaa i àz gi zər’àzəx i kukòškite i pùštəm

they’re [completely] withered. So I abandoned them and let the hens at them,

12 (a) i t’e idɤ̀t ut kràjə [laughter] kvò də gi pràiš

and they graze [there] at the end. [laughter] What can you do [with] them?

17 (e) e tùkə du kukòškite e tùkə pres kəzàne

Here by the chickens, here across from the still.

75 (e) zə həjvàne li zə kukòški li

for the livestock, for the chickens –

38 (f) na kokòški li e izmìem panìci̥te togàj nèmaše pràx s pèpel

or the chickens. Then we wash the pans, with ash – there was no detergent powder then.

11 (c) prudàvə tòj m’ène trìjsi čitìris l’èvə furàš i də ràn’ə às prəs’è

This guy sells me fodder for thirty or forty levs and I feed the pig

12 (c) i kukòščici i tùj unùj t’à zəgùbenə ràbutə

and chickens and this and that [with it]. It’s a hopeless case.
