Note:


At about 3.00, I went to look for i(1287 Hasan Hseyn Glgen). He had gone to Sksn to see his "dnr" - gelin's parents.

Only gelin in the house, husband i(Osman) was fetching "ayr" {gl : grass}. I drank a glass of ayran.
Came out and ran into i(1288 Bahri) and unwisely accepted invitation to ayran, thinking I could fill in details. I could not remember - without notes - what
I wanted to fill in. Gave up, excused myself, and went to look for i(1025 Aht.) and i(Osm.) Akgnus) (i(1024 Abdu's) son). A bunch of enthusiastic women took
me into i(Osman's) oda (close to the electricity direk), and then in due course men began to arrive - more and more. About half way through the interview I
realised it was time to go to fetch i(Vahap) and family from Bnyan, (so I broke off and went home, and then we set off by 5.45 for Bnyan 25 mins).

Evening: c. 9.40 i(Ali Koak), wife and sister ?? came to visit. Not much data - mainly economics of sheep and cows.
