3. BD whispers here, and the second word of the sentence is hard to hear.
4. inaudible whisper
5. The first word appears to be Holikachuk. Note that Belle's second husband, John Deacon, was a Holikachuk speaker.
6. false start at the beginning of this sentence?
7. rhetorical question; it was all covered up
8. Belle says xogh enatlniq 'I got tired,' presumably a mistake for xogh xentlniq 'they got tired', which she has below.

11. 'impressive' in the published version; cf. Koy gede', 'great, large, very big, enormous'
