Abstract
Nikolai says that during Tsagan Sar people make a variety of bortsg biscuits. Flat biscuits called tselvg symbolize the sun. Togshi, which has the form of a disc, symbolizes endless happiness. Other varieties are huts (meaning ‘a ram’), jola (meaning ‘horse reins’), shor beleg (it has the form of a bayonet), galun (meaning ‘a goose’), mornya kit (meaning ‘horse intestines’), shovun (meaning ‘a bird’), temyan (meaning ‘a camel’), khorkha (menaing ‘insects’), and moshkmur (meaning ‘twisted’). At the end of the interview Nikolai utters well-wishes that people say to each other during Tsagan Sar.
