_ Then, another time, we had that, eh, a beehive in the field and a bear had been used to it.

_ ečūnġo merband molisa guġwān näy eǯié, lalġobäy, i sg'ātmitkwena däšṭw.

This bear eats it, it rolls them down, and when it rolls them, they,

ale däšṭw izbi tu... turme, alyārs k'āgwräni ser i k'ēr agwräni, aleá,

generally a bear is used to do so, bees are killed, and it gets up and eats honey.

däšdws amži xoxal säertod, buzūlär ži xweṭnix, ǯiy ži xegwri, izbi twis.

They had watched it, but they could not kill it.

č'osq̇arwlax alyārs, mare deš otdāgrax ču.

It seams, it could suell a human being and rhey could not kill him,

mārem kwins məres iq̇ērda i ideš otdāgrax

and then they put it, honey, for it, as they hed done for him, in short, for wild {man}.

i č'ōsgax ečka ale, twi, amži imžwäy eynärd xoq̇rax ser, welurd,

and it got drunk, this, the bear, and began bellowing, and they followed it,

i ale ḳoč̣ōlži k'almərtxnēlià, däšdw, i loxbina liq̇orq̇owi i axč̣emax alyār ḳoč̣ōlžinen

and it fell on the ground.

i ži xäyxa ʒirs ala.

It slept, and they killed it so, the bear, and my father cought its cubs,

xägēdna i č'otdāgrax ser ale, däšdw, i eča belär ser č'otə̄rma mišgu mus.

he had come into, eh, the cave, and he took out alive bear-cubs.

ž'ēmčed ečxawtēsaé, gamokwabulteysa, i k'ōxqida luwar belar.

We kept them at home, and then I was little, and we had an open fire in the midlle of the house.

ču gwaq̇ēna ägis i ečka mi ḳoč̣ōlul ləmarēlxwi i nēsgaču lalmesg gwaġwēna.

Grandchildren, they, their, and children, and they all,

lambāšna, alyār, alyāreš, i gezlir i alyār mag

and the bear rushed to my cradle.

i loxpxič̣a aḳawänd mišgwi

and threw it into the fine.

he used to come to us always,you have natural honey, -he used to say,

eǯi gušgweyte ləmqedōlin čigar, naṭur twi lok guġwa näy

and my father would give him honey without any charge to him, now, and
