Summary

Final ten-minute-or-less camera file (about two and a half minutes) of a session with Golyanovskiy and his daughter in Bender, 2018. A short stretch of talk about children's customs and sayings, such as what was said when a child sneezed, with Russian explanations alongside Yiddish. It ends with a remark about a picture and a few lines about children quarreling.

Stretches

00:02–02:29

Begins mid-conversation on a Yiddish expression about being taken for a button. It then turns to children's customs and formulas: the interviewee explains in Russian that a mother pulled a sneezing child by the ear and said something, the speakers work out the wording in Yiddish, and a blessing wishing the child good health is given. Near the end there is a comment on a picture and a few lines on children quarreling. The Yiddish text is largely garbled, so the details are uncertain.
