- Jalçını ne sıyı bolluq edi? Jumuş eterge jaraşasa ansı, saŋa jumuşmu eterikdile. Oŋ janına salıb, sıylab aylanmazlığı sılhırğa da belgilidi.What honor could a hired hand have? You are fit to run errands, not to have errands run for you. Even the dullest knows he will not be treated with esteem and honor.
