Visit to i(Yre oskun) i(Topal Hseyn oskun)'s {wife}. Entertained in oda. Large, high room, window on one side and at one end. Sedir down 2 sides, stove in
middle. Namazlar along the sedir and a small hal, {carpet} made by the women of the household. Shelf on which were cups, sugar, 2 paraffin lamps, alarm cup.
Tea made for me in a small enamel teapot and offered to me in a white thick china cup and saucer.
Oda approached up flight of steps from havlu - store room for grain adjoins. 'Ev' underneath with 'tandr'. They are building another 'ev' adjoining because
family is expanding - i.e. gelin of 7 mths. now expecting child.
