Ayjarıqnı ua Safaraliyge Teyri buyurğan ese, anı da boljalın salayıq, – dep, Bolaka jol janında qadama taşha çökdü."Let us go as guests to Qaytuq's son. Let us come back with our share of the bey's sweet food. And if Teyri has destined Ayzharyq for Safaraliy, let us set a date for that too," said Bolaka, and sat down on the boundary stone by the roadside.
