and one span and four | fingers long. She puts it down crosswise 
by | the side of the small dish. Then she takes the dried stomach 
and puts it down on it. | She takes her fish-knife and cuts it into 
small pieces | of the right size to go into our mouths. After the 
woman has || cut up what she is cutting, she takes the kettle and | 
pours out the liquid of the dried stomach outside of the house. | 
Then she carries it back into the house by the handle and puts it 
down at the place where she is sitting. | Then she pours fresh water 
into it and washes it out | side. As soon as it is clean, she pours 
it out again || outside of the house. As soon as this is done, she 
brings it back and puts it down | by the side of the fire. Then she 
pours fresh water on the | pieces of dried stomach, and she washes 
them well. As soon as | all the soot is washed off and they are white

full of water; and she makes a good | fire, so that it blazes up well. 
Then she puts the kettle on the | fire, and it does not take long
