/xalal eterɡe/

Literal translation

to make lawful

Intended meaning

To slaughter an animal by cutting its throat in the prescribed way, so that its meat may be eaten rather than counting as carrion.
  • Azret tananı boyunun sıladı, quyruğundan tartıp da kördü. Alay, iş bolmazın aŋılağanda, qoşha çabıb barıb, jütü biçağın alıb keldi. «Bolmay ese da, halal eteyik», – dedi.Azret stroked the calf's neck, and tried pulling it by the tail too. But when he understood that nothing would come of it, he ran off to the herders' camp and came back with his sharp knife. "If there is no other way, let us slaughter it properly," he said.
