(Us raising pigs is like this: We don't have meat. Because we don't have meat our grandparents had this customs, our fathers also did them, so I also raise pigs. A person wants to eat meat but he doesn't have any. He raises the pig. It gets big and then he can kill it and eat it. My grandparents did that, my parents did that, and I do that. Soon, Ivan will do it too.) (Meat for a bride price, it is big. Grandparents and mother's lain they bring the girl and we give them the bride price meat. There is a big pig and we gather food and give it to them. Pig meat and food, they bring it, gathering it together. When they are ready to kill the pig they drive a stick into the ground. The girl and her sisters come, they want to kill the pig, put it and go.) (Children were first nursed as children. They get big and then they give a pig back to their mother's brothers and sisters. They give food. Pig, things, money, they give to their mother's lain and the mother's lain is pleased. (When short on cash, a person can sell a small pig for money. That is a way to get money. Another way is to kill one pig, cut it in pieces, and sell the pieces for money.) (The way for hevis is one. To be rid of the hevi we bring pigs. We raise the pigs ... Sit down carefully and talk. We see/understand the hevi, shoot the pig and the person will be good again.)

(We raise pigs. Some of our customs are like this: We like to eat pork. We share it with our friends. We raise pigs to make money. We also raise them to give for a bride price. Also to give to the maternal uncles. Doing hevis is like this: to make things right with pigs, we raise them. Those are the reasons we raise pigs.)
