Note:


i(6667 Glhanm Glgen)

Alone in the house. Ayran. Embarrassed - had work to do. Very edgey.
Confirmed - i(1287 H.H) and i(1288 Bahri Glgen) are ks {gl : 'not talking'} .
They became 'ks' at the wedding.

(I asked i(1288 Bahri) immediately after the interview - and he said "ask Falle") She said "ask i(1288 Bahri)". See interview.

I asked her about Sksn and Elba. Elba "geri"; "tembel" {gl : backward; lazy}. Sksn has less land, "hep usta, memur ok uz Broda memur ok" {gl : "full of
craftsmen, many officials and office workers}. Sksn is more advanced.
Sksn till 1977 - no water, geri. Now irrigation and much more advanced. Lots of fruit trees and "yeillik" and yonca. {gl : "greenness" and clover}
Her father was a carpet entrepreneur ("ortak?). She explained that someone he depended on "iflas etti" and he was unable to recover his debts so he gave up.
Now he lives off his land and cows.
