Babjak 2

26 (b) f jərèm i udzàde nə təvà nəpràenò kətò kəto brənà

into a yoke and in back there's this thing like – like – a harrow.

27 (b) i uddòlu s tàlpi nəkovà se tàlpi dɤ̀ski i uddòlu

And underneath there are these planks nailed to it, boards, and below

28 (b) nə dɤskìte̥ se nəčùka: vòlski plòči i kətu vulòvetu ponè

on the boards you hammer on ox shoes. And then because the oxen

29 (b) vɤrvɤ̀t bàvnu tè gu kòlkutu mòže də gu čùpət čùpəd gu

walk slowly, they break it up as much as they can.

30 (b) ubàče brənàtə utzàd s tìjə kòncki plòči

But [then] the harrow behind, with these horse ( = ox) shoes,

31 (b) kətu sə vlečè pu slàmətə pu ərmànə

gets pulled along through the straw on the threshing field

32 (b) kətu vɤrtɤ̀t i plòči̥te rɛ̀žət slàmətə pò nə drèbnu

as [the oxen] go round, and the [ox] shoes cut the straw up into tiny pieces,

33 (b) pò bɤ̀rzo də sə vɤršè

[so that it's] faster to do the threshing [that way].
