- Bizni tüzlügübüznü, jaŋız terekden baw bolmazın, jaŋıznı duşmanı köplügün da bile turğanlay, ataŋı başınamı baylanı malların sıyırıb, jarlılağa üleşib aylanasa da? – dedi biyağı sarımıyıq oğursuz awaz bla."Knowing full well that we are in the right, that one tree makes no fence, and that a man alone has many enemies — is it for nothing at all, then, that you go about seizing the rich men's livestock and sharing it out among the poor?" said that same fair-moustached man in his harsh voice.
