Recording of some 'core' words in Paren at Nadezhda Mikhailovna's house and then with Optayat at his fishing camp starting at about 8min. Plepova had trouble remembering a few words and we went to ask Optayat what they were. He was very aged and hard of hearing and I had a hard time working much with him.
