hail

47 (a) kàk kato poglèdneš kòlko e rasadìl si u svèt pipèr

Like when you look to see how many – you’ve planted lots of peppers,

49 (a) koè e pṛvàče gḷ̀ta pṛ̀voto zṛ̀no koè vìdi da sɤ̀pre gradùškata

the child that’s oldest swallows the first bud it sees so as to stop the hail.

38 (a) nèmaše bì ni ednà godìna gràt i tò i nèmam bràšno màlko

There wasn’t – hail battered us one year and I didn’t have flour, only a little,

88 (a) tò be imišlìki tə ku tòlkuvə cvetᶤìlu sìčkutu trì dènə zdɛ̀ grədùškə

There were orchards. They all bloomed so much, but then three days of hail!

89 (a) sədèva po kàpkise sədèvə pək be bəjɛ̀ cvetìli i rudᶤìli b’ehə

Raindrops [all around] here. There’d been so many blooms, and they’d borne so much fruit.

90 (a) əmà grədùškə fànə tə gi bəjɛ̀ purəzvəlì grədùškə

But the hail started up and spoiled pretty much [everything, that] hail.
