ʷuʷa ʷuu aʲɪŋkɛndiʲa ŋaaŋʊtɛ

first, before the rain comes

field preparing

kʊŋɪ ŋgɪŋʃɛ

and that on Tabaq people

(they) burn and

ʷɔka

in the place (i.e. farm) every thing thing.. ah.. starts (i.e. grows) in the field that is thing all they gather, burn

and after they had cleaned all the farm, then surely they wait for the rain

ɛɛ kʊt̪ʊ kuʈɛɛ nɑdʊfɛnaj, ɛɛ arɛʷa iɲiin

when the reain comes

arɛ t̪a nʊʊl

enough, rain, in the first rain the people cultivate

xalas, arɛ awal narɛr irɪ ʈɪrɪɪm

after the rain twice or three times after it has rained

baa, arɛ ʊrʊ nɖʊjʊʷa kʷɪɪmbʊrʊ

****

****

then, my.. my.. the ground

ɛɛ, aanaaj.. aan.. ʊʊnd̪ʊ

unyi.. our ground.. water.. is satisfied with water

uɲi.. ʊʊnʊʊnd̪ʊ.. ʊt̪ɪ.. ʊt̪ɪː ʊɲɪnand̪ʊ

why? because

aʃaan ʃinu

(no meaning) they planted (some)thing, quickly they want it to grow (lit. 'stand up; start')

ndɪɪ.. ʈi ʈɪŋgaʈʊ ʃaa, ɛlɛmdʊr ɖɪnakʊʈʊ wa

also, sometimes

kamaan, t̪uŋgu bɛɛra

people place sow (dry)

irɪ t̪ʊʊ kawʊ

and that place (dry) sowed (when) that means

ah ʈii t̪ʊʊ kawʊʈʊ nɔgi.. maʔnaata

you thing finished planting

ʊ ʃaa ʈɪnaŋgaʈʊ

****

****

and in the ground is lying and the rain if it comes immediately it grows

ɛɛ ʊʊnd̪ʊr ɖiʈʊka arɛʲa t̪andən.. t̪aʈʊŋga t̪walɪ dɪnakʊʊn

dry sowing (there) is; also wet sowing (there) is

kawʊʷɛ fi; kamaan ʈɪrɛʲa fi

it is that dry sowing, i.e. the person, place if he sowed when dry, if he is said (if you heared)

ʈii kawɛndi, jaani id̪ʊ, t̪ʊʊ kawʊŋgana fɪʈʊŋga

i.e., if it is sorghum or t.., thing.. a planted thing

jaani, wɪɪndʊŋgaa kaa t.., ʃaa.. ʈɪŋgaʈʊ ʃaa

in the ground after they cover it / put it inside, it is the reain they wait for

ʊʊnd̪ʊr d̪ifɛnaaj, arɛʷa iɲiin

but

laakiin

when you sowed the farm, also the bush things (i.e. all animals, even birds and insects)

ʈii k.. ʊʊt̪ɪ.. ʊ t̪ʊʊ kawʊʈʊr, kamaan fɪɪ nʒaarɪ

(no meaning) it is birds

kuŋ.. ʊ..ʊ.. ɪnɪ.. kʊʊŋɪʲɛɛ

like birds (sp. with red legs) then all pigeons

nas kʊrɪʲɛɛ [kurɛː] ɛnɛ ʈiʈamɪʲɛ kuʈɛfɪ

that your farm for you they eat, unless farm protect

ʈii ʊʊŋgʊt̪ʊ ʊ kʊldiʲɛn, ɪlla ʃinu t.. kʊt̪ʊ kʊɲʊʷa

also

kamaan

rain, comes at the time when, in case you sowed, also (i.e. also, when the rain comes in case you sowed)

arɛ, t̪aʈʊ nɔgɪd̪ʊraar, ʊ ʈi.. ʈɪrɪɪɲaʈʊŋga, bɔrd̪ʊ

meaning, insects (lit. 'things of the place') insects these small (ones)

jaanɪː, t̪ʊʊ nʒaarɪ na.. ħaʃaraat ɛnɛ ɖɔrɛ

things they eat for you, must because

jaanɪː, dawa ʃʷaʈʊŋga kat̪aka

I.. i.. you.. you mix it with sorghum

ʷu.. ɪ.. ʊ.. ʊ wɪɪka ʃawʊn

either with simsim or mix it, after you finish sowing

ɪja bɛlɛka na ʃawʊn, ʊʷa ʈɪnand̪ʊ

why? because, things (here 'insects') your farm do not eat

aʃaan ʃinu, ʃaarɪ ʊ kʊt̪ʊ kʊlɪmɪʲɛ

finally, what we sow, farm/field after it grew

xalas, i ʈɪrɛʈʊː, kʊt̪ʊ fud̪umbu.. fud̪u.. fud̪uma..

i.e. sorghum more, has grown, you some of them

jaan wɪɪ zijaada, dɛkɪɲɛʈʊŋga, ʊʷa ʈii, bɛkɪ

after picking them out

aljɪnaaʲ

ah, (it is named) singling out we call it pick them out place empty if there is take those sorghum (plants) you picked out, take it to the empty place when you sowed your farm surely will become good

ah, ʈikaa kʊʃkʊʃwɛʲan wɔʃɛɛn, ʈikaa aljɪn t̪ʊʊː faad̪i fitʊŋgala kaʃɪ ʈi wɪɪ ʊʊ, aljɪŋgaʈʊ, kaʃɪ t̪ʊʊ faad̪irʊka ʈir, ʊŋgʊt̪a kɛɛŋaʲan

enough, then rain enough after it has rained that first cleaning after it is finished

xalas, ɛɛ, arɛ xalas kwɔdɛmbʊrʊ ʈii ʃ.. awal nʒɔɔrɛ, tumunaaʲ

later now surely they do the second cleaning

kalaŋt̪ʊna ɛɛla iinajɛn

some/other farms twice even are cleaned (i.e. all in all three times)

kʊŋɪ bɛkɪ, ʊrʊʷa nɛnɪ iinɛn

(a) place it means tall grass growing grows growing high growing if it is a place

ah t̪ʊʊ jaani bʊnd̪ɔ ʷɔʈʊ fuduʃɪ.. fud̪u fud̪uʃɪ t̪ʊʊnʊŋga
