five cakes of elderberries, one on top of the other, and || puts them 
on the two strips of soft cedar-bark, (in this way): 
and when | the edges are even, she pulls the panaligid hes 
two strips of cedar-bark tight and ties the ends to- 
gether. | As soon as she finishes it, she takes up another | piece of 
soft split cedar-bark and breaks it in two; and she puts down the 
pieces on the | mat that has been spread out. Then she takes the 
bundles of elderberry-cakes that have been tied and || puts them 
on it. She ties them crosswise, the same way as the first, | in 
this manner: This is what they call one bundle of 
elderberry- cakes, | when five cakes of elderberries 
are tied to- gether. She continues doing so with | 
what she in- tends to keep im the house, to be eaten in 
winter. She uses | a medium-sized box. When she finishes tying the 
elderberry-cakes into bundles, || she tilts (the box) to one side, near the 7 
fire; and when it is warm inside and really | dry, she puts the bundle 
of elderberry-cakes | into the box. When it is full, she puts the | 
cover on and ties it down. When this is done, | she puts the elder- 
berry-box away in a place where it is always dry; || that is, where the 
heat of the fire can reach it. After she has done so, she | gathers up 
the cakes that she did not tie into bundles, and puts them into an- 
other | small box, and she throws all the elderberry-cakes into it. | 
When they are all in, she puts the cover on, | ties if down, and puts 
(the box) down by the side of the first box. ||
