Abstract
Seeing a hare is a good sign, because your plans will materialize. It is a bad sign to see a fox or a corsac on the road. It is also a bad sign when children snort. It is forbidden for pregnant women to eat long intestines or mildly cooked meat with blood. Only one person can eat a cooked sheep's head. If two people eat the same head, they will quarrel. A sheep's head that people present to each other at weddings should be burnt on a fire. If someone brings meat, show it to all who are present. Food offerings (made to gods) can be eaten by children only.
