i (0462 Ali Canveren)'s 'ev'. {gl: actually i(0039)'s} Approached down steps from 'oda'. It lies behind and beneath the 'oda'. Door at bottom of steps can be
opened to give light - it seems to lead into a small courtyard belonging to the house. Door into 'ev' on left. One window in 'ev' but lighter than others I
have previously seen.Tandr and smoke hole. Cushions arranged behind me when I sat at the tandr. Four shelves - two tiers side by side cut in wall. More
utensils. Central pillars supporting roof beams - wooden, marked all way up by notches. Why? Sheep - 2 - in the 'ev'. - i(5050 Ane) i(0462 Ali)'s wife, was I
think explaining the reason for this to me, but I didn't fully understand. I think it was something re fattening them up for sale.
i(0462 Ali Canveren)'s 'oda' - seats along three sides, stove, wooden roof, well-constructed with solid beams. It didn't leak this last time, when most of the
roofs leaked. A tray of coffee cups, a very nice copper coffee-jug. Sugar, coffee, kept on shelf in room for offering to guests. Water supply in 'oda', three
old women sitting in the 'oda' along with the men - i(0039 Hacahmet)'s mother (80+), i(0157 Zubeyr Isk)'s mother (70+), and i(0039 Hacahmet)'s 1st wife - v. up
and coming.
