My tale is not long, its name is Vajnin. The Vajnin woman once lived all by herself. She had no one. Once she went to the forest. While going to the forest, she lost the way and became completely lost. So she went on and on and on, she went for a long or a short time and was completely exhausted. She decided to rest, found a stump and rested her back on it. She leaned against it and broke the rotten stump. She broke it and looked through a hole. Oh! Por women were talking to each other there, there were so many of them under the earth, so many. She became frightened and wanted to run away. The Por woman jumped out and said: “You broke my house.” She said: “I didn’t want to break it, what should I do, I was very tired. I was tired, really tired,” she said. The other woman said: “Then we’ll go together, you broke my house.” She talked, the Vajnin woman said: “Fine, let’s go together. t'a, pǟ sos-l-ə-ŋən, χuw wǟn sos-s-ə-ŋən pǟ măsa păraj-na kǟt oχəl sijal-ə-s-ŋən. kǟt oχəl sijal-ə-s-ŋən, i oχl-ə-l-na kälaŋ-l-al itliji nǟw-et, oχl-ə-l elti täχt-el pǟ nǟwi, i oχl-ə-l-na kälaŋ-l-al itliji put-et, täχt-el oχl-ə-l elti pǟ puti. pǟ śi jupi-na śiti śiti laj-l-ə-ŋən oχ-l-al χŏśen-na. a śi păr-niŋ im-en nǟwi täχti elti ams-ə-s pǟ tijəś toχəś puj-ə-l kǟrit-t-al ewəlt śi täχt-el puti-ji ji-s. puti-ji ji-s, śiti laj-ə-l, wajniŋ-iji śiti-ji laj-ə-l. śiti laj-ə-l, măsa păraj-na or ewəlt kǟt jaχ et-s-ə-ŋən, it-l nǟwi täj-ti-t täj-ə-l, it-l puti täj-ti-t täj-ə-l. wǟn-na jŏχət-s-ə-ŋən, nǟwi täj-ti-t täj-ti-t änti śi oχl-ə-l ńärem-ə-s pǟ păr-niŋ pil-na män-s-ə-ŋən. wajniŋ-ij-en śiti-ji laj-ə-l. puti täj-ti-t lǟw-ə-l änti: “näŋ kepa, lǟw-ə-l, mǟ oχl-em elti lel-t-en, lǟw-ə-l änti, i niŋ-en, lǟw-ə-l änti, mălli män-ə-s änti”. wajniŋ-iji pǟ ams-ə-s, śi tu-s-a.

Suddenly they saw two sleds. They saw two sleds. One sled had all white reindeer, the fur on the sled was also white. The other sled had all black reindeer, the fur on the sled was also black. Then they stood near the sleds. The Por woman sat on the white fur and when she moved her backside back and forth the fur turned black. It turned black and the Vajnin woman stood there. At this time two men came out of the forest, one dressed in white clothes, the other dressed in black clothes. They came closer, the one dressed in white tugged at his sled and set off with the Por woman. The Vajnin woman just stood there. The man dressed in black clothes said: “So, sit down on my sled, your friend has left.” The Vajnin woman also sat down and he took off with her. wǟn χuw män-s-ə-t pǟ imăsaj-na kǟt or χat-na jŏχət-s-ə-t. kǟt or χat-na jŏχət-s-ə-t pǟ śita ol-ta pit-s-ə-t. tälaŋ tǟl o-s-ə-t, śi ol-m-al χuwat jaχ-ŋil-al jalən äntam ol-li-l-ŋən. aləŋ säχat män-l-ə-ŋən, ila pela jŏχət-l-ə-ŋən. śi iki-l-ə-n ji-l-t-an ewəlt mălaj-na jäχ-t-an ewəlt śi i niŋ-ə-l χat-na jäŋχ-ə-l. i niŋ-ə-l χat-na jŏχət-l, wojniŋ-ij-en ijulti jintas-l kǟsəŋ χătl. a i niŋ-ij-en χat-na män-l, păr-niŋ-ij-en χat-na, păr-niŋ-ij-en put kǟwər-l ki, i niŋ-ə-l jas put ruwət-ti i niŋ-ə-l jas täj-l-ə-lli. ta śi jupi-na aləŋ säχajət ila pela jaχ-l-al jŏχət-s-ə-t pǟ jaχ-ə-l-na ińśəs-l-a: “jas-an măla-ji śiti puwl-ə-man o-l?” luw lǟwəl: “änta pǟ mǟ, lǟw-ə-l, munta put kǟwər-s-ə-m, lǟw-ə-l, pǟ mǟ săŋχər-s-em”. ta śi pǟ χătl pǟ män-l-ə-ŋən. kǟsəŋ χătl jäχ-l-ə-ŋən or-na. itta imăsaj-na păr-niŋ-en lǟw-ə-l änti: “săχa, lǟw-ə-l, jäχ-l-ə-mən jŏχət-l-ə-t pǟ näŋ, lǟw-ə-l, śiti lǟw-a: jŏχi ǟt jäχ-l-ə-mən. χat-l-ə-mən ol-l-ə-t änti, jŏχi, lǟw-ə-l, ǟt jäχ-l-ə-mən. jäχ-l-ə-mən-na ǟt tot-li-l-aj-mən”. itta wajniŋ-ij-en jŏχi jŏχt-ə-s pǟ ik-el χŏśa lǟw-ə-l änti, lǟw-ə-l änti: “mǟ, lǟw-ə-l, jŏχi jŏχ-ta lit-l-ə-m. täm χat-ə-ŋ i niŋ-em kepa, lǟw-ə-l, iśi jŏχi jŏχ-ta pǟ lit-l.” ik-el lǟw-ə-l änti: “χŏti wer-l-a, lǟw-ə-l, uze tǟl mălt-as, lǟw-ə-l, ol-ta pit-s-ə-t, o-l-tən pǟ, lǟw-ə-l, niŋ jŏχi jäχ-t-an, χoj-na kǟt-l-aj-tən”. short long go-PST-0-3PL and one-LOC two forest house-LOC arrive-PST-0-3PL two forest house-LOC arrive-PST-0-3PL and thre be-NMLZ.IMPF start-PST-0-3PL whole winter be-PST-0-3PL DP be-NMLZ.IMPF-3SG along man-DU-3SG at:home not:be be-IMPF-NONPST-3DU morning time go-NONPST-0-3DU evening towards arrive-NONPST-0-3DU DP old:man-PL-0-3DU come-IMPF-NMLZ.IMPF-3SG from what-LOC walk-NMLZ.IMPF-3DU from FOC one woman-0-3SG house-LOC go-0-NONPST one woman-0-3SG house-LOC arrive-NONPST Vajnin-DIM-2SG everywhere sew-NONPST each day [but] one woman-DIM-2SG house-LOC go-NONPST Por-woman-DIM-2SG house-LOC Por-woman-DIM-2SG pot cook-NONPST if one woman-0-3SG arm pot boil-NMLZ.IMPF one woman-0-3SG arm have-NONPST-0-SG.3SG [here] FOC behind-LOC morning time evening towards man-PL-3SG arrive-PST-0-3PL and man-0-3SG-LOC ask-NONPST-PAS arm-2SG what-TRANS so swell-0-CVB be-NONPST 3 say-0-NONPST DP and 1SG say-0-NONPST before pot cook-PST-0-1SG say-0-NONPST burn-PST-SG.1SG [here] FOC and day and go-NONPST-0-3DU each day walk-NONPST-0-3DU forest-LOC DP one-LOC Por-woman-2SG say-0-NONPST DP then say-0-NONPST man-PL-0-1DU arrive-NONPST-0-3PL and 2SG say-0-NONPST so say-IMP homewards OPT go-NONPST-0-1DU house-PL-0-1DU be-NONPST-0-3PL DP homwards say-0-NONPST OPT walk-NONPST-0-1DU man-PL-0-1DU-LOC OPT bring-IMPF-NONPST-PAS-1DU that Vajnin-DIM-2SG homewards arrive-0-PST and old:man-3SG to say-0-NONPST DP say-0-NONPST DP 1SG say-0-NONPST homewards arrive-NMLZ.IMPF want-NONPST-0-1SG this house-0-PROPR one woman-1SG only say-0-NONPST same homewards arrive-NMLZ.IMPF and want-NONPST old:man-3SG say-0-NONPST DP how make-NONPST-PAS say-0-NONPST [already] winter pass-PST say-0-NONPST be-NMLZ.IMPF start-PST-0-3PL be-NONPST-2DU and say-0-NONPST 2DU homewards walk-NMLZ.IMPF-2DU who-LOC sieze-NONPST-PAS-0-2DU They went for a long or a short time, suddenly they arrived at two tents. They came to the two tents and started to live there. They lived there all winter long and all the time they lived there the men were not at home. They left in the morning and came back in the evening. While the men were gone, the women were at home, the women were at home. The Vajnin woman sewed every day all the time. But the other woman walked around the house, the Por woman walked around the house, when the kettle boiled, she stirred the pot. But the other woman walked around the house, the Por woman walked around the house, when the kettle boiled, she stirred the pot with her friend’s hand, she used her friend’s hand. If she went to her friend, she was always sewing. Then the men gone from morning till night asked: “Why is your hand so swollen?” She said: “I was cooking something in the pot and burned it.” The next day they went off again, they went to the forest every day. Once the Por woman said: “When the men come, you say ‘let’s go home’. The Por woman said: “When the men come, you say ‘Let’s go home’. We have homes, let’s go home, let our husbands bring us there.” The Vajnin woman went home and said to her husband: “I want to go home. My neighbour said that she also wanted to go home.” The husband said: “What can be done? Already most of winter has gone by and you’re living here.

Just like we went together, we’ll come back together.” They set off back to home, arrived home, lived for a long or a short time, then the Vajnin woman started back. When she went back she called to her friend and said: “If you don’t go, I’m going back, I’m going back for keeps.” Little bells were attached to her sled, to the Vajnin woman’s sled, around the neck of the reindeer, they rang out. She waited for her friend, then set off slowly. She glanced back, but her friend had already gone on the white reindeer and had harnessed some sort of mice and worms, they were pulling the sled in the opposite direction. This time on the road back she made a rope of hay and tied the mice. So she went along behind her, behind the Vajnin woman. ta jŏχi jŏχət-l-ə-ŋən taŋχa śita śi jupi-na, ńǟwrem-l-ə-n măla tǟl-li ji-s-ŋən śita śi jupi-na. jäχ-l-ə-n aləŋ säχat pǟ män-l-ə-t or-na pǟ or-na män-s-ə-t śita śi jupi-na. täm χat-ə-ŋ păr-niŋ-en jŏχt-ə-s pǟ lǟw-ə-l, än tel ńŏχa tu-s. ńŏχa tu-s pǟ lǟw-ə-l: “χălewət, lǟw-ə-l änti, näŋ ńǟwrem-en, lǟw-ə-l, wel-t-en păraj-na män-em ǟl wuś-a-ti”. itta wajiŋ-ij-em noməs-ij-ə-l: “χŏti tämi, lǟw-ə-l, măla ńǟwrem-ə-l peli wel-ə-s?” – lǟw-ə-l änti. śita et-l χat-l or χat-l saχl-ə-t χuwat śijəś toχəś jäŋχ-ə-l, lǟw-ə-l änti: “ńǟwrem-ij-em χŏl peli χäń-et-l-em, lǟw-ə-l änti, χŏti, lǟw-ə-l, luw-el wel-l-em, χŏti kǟwər-l-em? i niŋ-am χŏti werit-s-ə-lli änti, mǟ än werit-l-em”. śiti lǟw-ə-l: “ńǟwrem-ij-em mǟ χŏl tu-l-em peli, lǟw-ə-l, χŏl χäń-et-l-em peli?” măsa păraj-na saχəl-l-al śi or χat saχəl-l-al kǟtn-ə-ś puns-ant-ə-s pǟ śiti ätta jǟsəŋ χoll-ə-s, lǟw-ə-il änti: “ńǟwrem-an, lǟw-ə-l, saχəl χul χuwat, lǟw-ə-l, il kit-i”. ta ńǟwrem-ə-l wu-s-li pǟ il kit-s-ə-lli.

After this, the husbands once again went to the forest in the morning. Then the neighbour, the Por woman, came and spoke, she brought along a full cup of meat. She brought along meat and said: “Tomorrow, when you kill your child, don’t feel sorry.” The Vajnin woman thought: “What, kill my own child?” When she left, she went up and down the boards of the house and said: “What if I hid the child, how can I kill it and cook it?

She said: “Where shall I take my child from? How shall I tell it to his father now?” At this moment the boards opened up and at once the child jumped out and there were little bells under his arms: cling-cling-cling - he ran one way, cling-cling-cling he ran the other way, cling-cling-cling. He jumped out and ran towards his father, but the Por woman had stuck a stick inside her child, it knocked with one leg, it knocked with the other leg. This child went back and forth–clop-clop, turned the other way–clop-clop. Its father came home and the father of the ringing child also returned home and took him home. The father of this piece of wood came home, then he went out, when he went out, he took the Por woman and with his foot he trod on her leg. He lifted her other leg and tore he in two. After this the man said: “Henceforth let no good man live together with a Por woman.”
