Lesson 10 · 5–7 min

Preparing wool

Recognise two actions used to prepare wool.

Reading help · First lesson
01

Two examples from the book

The characters describe what their mother does to prepare wool:

Mamay millwata tisan.

My mother separates the wool fibres.

The technical meaning of tisan is still under review; here we explain it as separating wool fibres.

Mamay millwata puchkan.

My mother spins the wool.

We practise only these two actions. This is not an explanation of the entire weaving process.

The English translations and usage nuances are still under review.
