     Sliſcaiu zaidoſce, od chud gres i chamo
     Catgime rochoſce, prauinam da znamo.

     Sliša(t) ju zajdoše: »Od kud greš i kamo?
     Ča t’ jime?«, rekoše. »Pravi nam da znamo.«

     They came by to question her: “Where do you come from and where are you going?
     What is your name?” they said. “Tell us, that we may know.”
