fertilizing

9 (b) pòsle tòr mu slàgamᵊ pa pà gu kòpamᵊ i takà

then fertilize them and then dig again, and that’s it.

175 (a) tur’èd gu pul’ɨ̀vəd gu i kugàd dòjde zə pribɨ̀rəne

[Now] they fertilize it and water it, and when it’s time to gather it,

8 (a) də hmi kàrəm tòrət i s č’ùzdə ràptə səm minɔ̀lə du segà

to cart around fertilizer for them – and I’ve done work for others till now,

120 (e) sàmo sìlnija berekèt stàva na g’ubrè takòva vòlskətə g’ubrè

But you get a really good harvest [by using] manure – manure from oxen

121 (e) kato go zag’òbriš ta gu zag’òbriš še a razvlečeš

You pile manure [on the crops], pile it on, spread it around,

122 (e) i stàva kato go nag’òbriš sɤs tòr

and it works, when you fertilize with manure.

124 (e) g’ubrèta vìkame tòr

We call manure “fertilizer”.

125 (MM) dà glèdam tùka səbìrate vìe

Yes, I see that you here shovel up ...

127 (MM) g’ubrè vìe sə səbìrate g’ubrèto

... manure. That you shovel manure [up for use].

128 (e) səbìrame sè èj tùka èj gu e tuvà g’ubrè tè vìš tovà

We do! All the time. It’s this, here. See this manure [pile]?

132 (e) kat nag’òbriš stàva kakòf štè da tùriš sɛ̀nu

When you fertilize with it – whatever you want to put it on, hay [for instance] –

133 (e) nèma čuvàli čɤ̀rno stàva čɤ̀rnu

There’s no [need to use] bags [to keep it in]. Everything get black.

22 (d) klàvəme i i zə tìkvi i sìpvəme udgòr’e tòr

we put [seeds] for the pumpkins. Then we put fertilizer down

23 (d) i gu zəràv’əme i pòsle tvà kətu gu zəròvime iznìkne

and tamp it down good. And after we tamp it down it sprouts.
