Bulgun Lapsina, About Signs and Omens


Change log

Abstract

A woman should not hold her hands behind the back. During childbirth women should not cry. People should not talk about personal difficulties or complain. If a black dog whines, it is a bad omen. If a stray cat comes into your house, it is also a bad omen. By contrast, if a stray dog appears in your yard, it is a good sign. We call the cat mis, whereas Buzavas call it kota mashk.
