Well, in the field.

Gigen 1

15 (b) da go izvɤ̀ržem da go sɤbère̝m na petìne̝ pòsle na krəscì

we [go to] tie it off, and gather it into groups of five sheaves, and then into cruciforms

Glavanovci 1

82 (a) ta takà sme mɤčìli i sme rabotìli pòsle pràimo kṛ̀sci od əm

And so. We suffered and worked and then made cruciforms from –

83 (a) nìe odnesèmo se od ə od snòpjeto napràimo kṛ̀sci

e carry them off and make cruciform of the sheaves

84 (a) zdènemo gi ùbavo da gi vètɤr ne razdùva da gi ne sobòri

We stack them up nicely so the wind won’t pull them apart when it blows.

They make it into cruciform when it dries, and then men make it into a pile.

26 (a) məž’èt’e gu pràjət gul’àm kup’èn’ də fàštə gòre.dòlu

The men make it into a big pile, comprising more or less

27 (a) kəm stò i dvàisi stò i pedes’ʌ̀ snòpə fàštə

up to a hundred and twenty to a hundred and fifty sheaves.

22 (a) ši zèmiš tò je tòl’kəu visòku dlɤ̀gu i təkà nəprìmer

you’ll take [the sheaf], it’s this high and this wide, so for instance

23 (a) kət gu vàždət dvèti sə krɤstòsət takà n’àkək

when you pull it out [and tie it], the two [together] form a cross, something like this,

Malevo/Asg 1

82 (VZh) [И какво правехте със снопите?]

[And what did you do with the sheaves?]

83 (a) mi nəpràvim gi pàk də nə sʌ̀ mòkr’et

Well, we make them so that they don’t get wet,

84 (a) nə krɤ̀sci gi pràim àj tә̥kà tùk ədìn snòp

we make them in cruciform, like this. See, one sheaf here,

85 (a) tàm drùk tùj drùk i tùk odgòr’e drùk

another there, [yet] another here, and here up above another.

86 (a) təkà gi nəpràim pu šesnàese snòpə

We pile them like that [in bunches] of sixteen sheaves each.

87 (VZh) [И къде ги слагате?]

[And where do you put them?]

88 (a) nə zem’àtə nə zem’àtə əmə pàk təkà tvà žìtutu

On the ground! On the ground, that’s where the grain is

89 (a) ednò vərhu drùgu də sʌ̀ da ne sʌ̀ mòkri žìtu̥tu [laughter]

one on top of the other so that – so that the grain doesn’t get wet! [laughter]

Both women and men! Every [living creature]! And we tie [the wheat] up into sheaves

204 (a) nəklàvəme gu nə krəhcɨ̀ i sl’èt kət priber’è̝m ž’ètvətə

and put them in cruciforms, and after we gather the harvest

Pavelsko 1

15 (a) snòpete gi kàrət səs kərùci i gi klədɤ̀t pràv’ət gi nə krɤ̀sci

They drive the sheaves off in carriages and put them – they make cruciform of them.

16 (a) vìkəme mu m gu krɤ̀s ə pək tùkə kətu pràvehme pàk

We call it a “cross”. And then we make it again here,

17 (a) ə təkà vəspràvəme snòpete i udgòre slàgəme š’ɛ̀pki

and raise the sheaves up straight and put covers on top of them

18 (a) i gu sə nìə̥ gu kàzvəme kò̝š’uv’e

and then they are what we call cruciform “baskets”.

19 (VZh) [Някъде другаде слагаш ли?]

[Do you pile them up anywhere else?]

20 (a) əm tuvà nə n’ìvənə si gu slàgəme nə n’ìvənə

In the fields there, we pile them up in the field.

49 (a) tr’àə də gi izwɤ̀rdzwəm’ә̟ s’ètn’e mɤ̀kn’eš snòpui pràim’i krɤ̀š’č’et sə kàzvət

so we have to tie them up.” So you drag the sheaves, and we make cruciforms, as they say.

50 (a) pu tr’inàjs’i snòpə nə krɤ̀š’č’ec pràjm’ә̟ slàgəm’i təkà təkà

We make cruciform of thirteen sheaves each, and lay them out like this, and this,

51 (a) i təkà č’ètr’i snòpa i udgòr’ə nà kət sə dvənàjs’i gòr’ə

and this. Four sheaves, and on top – when there are twelve,

52 (a) tr’inàstijə snòp slàgəm’i krɤ̀š’č’ec èj n’èska èd’i kòlku krɤ̀scə

then we put on the thirteenth, and that’s a cruciform. “Here’s how many cruciforms –

53 (a) ə krɤ̀š’č’ecə nɤpràjəm’i puž’ènəl’i sn’i mnògu sn’i ž’ènəl’i n’èskə [laughter]

cruciforms we made today. We reaped – we reaped a lot today!” [laughter]

Široka Lŭka

8 (a) i pràehmè gi kò̝šuve pòsle i pràim kupèn’ i pòsle vəršèm

And we did them up in cruciforms, then we make a pile, and then we thresh.

and make them into cruciforms, nicely made cruciforms, and [we take] these cruciforms –

Tihomir 2

170 (GK) əmhm i pòsle kato go ožɔ̀neš snòpete tàm gi ostàv’ate

Uh huh. And when you finish reaping, do you leave the sheaves there?

171 (a) sklad’ème ga tukurdž’ùm na tukurdž’ùmi go sklad’ème kogàta se spànne

We put them in cruciform – in cruciform. And when it all settles down

172 (a) nòs’me gᵚɨ na harmàna

then we carry them to the threshing floor.

Vŭglarovo 2

55 (a) žɨ̀tu i ž’è̝n’iš’ i tùr’əš rəkòjki vɤ̀rnes sə pòsl’e snòpe səbɨ̀rəš

… of grain. You reap, put down handfuls, go back. Then you gather [it into] sheaves

56 (a) pàg gi trùpəš pu p’è̝t šè̝s snòpə d’è̝vet’

And then you pile them by five, six sheaves, by nine …

57 (b) nə krɤ̀sci təkà də n’i gì nəl’òə

Cruciform, like this, so they won’t get wet …
