- Bek alğa baş suğar jer kerek edi, onsegiz kün bla keçeni, közlerine juqu kirmey, erkin oltururğa oŋ bolmay, jepilerinden ayaz ura turğan suwuq vagonlada bir birlerine qısılıb kelgenlege.First of all, a roof over their heads was what they needed — those who had come pressed against one another for eighteen days and nights in cold wagons draughty at the seams, without sleep in their eyes and with no room to sit at ease.
