fish

25 (a) dvà pɤ̀ti jəd'àhi jàdəhne jəd'àhne i màjkit'e sə ni pìtəli

we would eat that twice, and our mothers would ask us

28 (a) à təkà zəštòtu rìbətə nə gləvàtə imàlə krɤ̀s i təkà

Right. Because a fish has a cross on its head, and so –

30 (a) dvà pɤ̀t'ɨ sə jàlə i ə fs'àki pùs si e

[fish] is eaten twice. And each fast is [its own] –

36 (a) d'è də znàm kàk b'àše tə səm pìtələ màjkə

how should I know how it was – I asked mother

40 (VZh) a i kvì rìbi ìmaše tùka u tàa rekà

What kinds of fish did there used to be here in this river?

44 (VZh) kàk kàk im vìkaxte kvì vìdove rìba pòmniš li kàg gi vìkaxa

How did you call them? Which sorts of fish? Do you remember how they were called?

45 (a) e papadùrki

Well, [there were] bitterlings –

47 (a) mu vìkame na ednì znàm če mu vìkat papadùrki ednì tekìva širòčki

[as] we called some of them. I know that they call these broad [flat] ones bitterlings.

48 (a) pìzgal’e ednì tɤ̀nki

[Then] there are these thin ones, loaches.

50 (b) dà belvàri
