“aquela casa con seu saydo en que mora Domingo Turlon et Eluira Afonso, sua muller, que esta en na rua de Sindin; commo departe: da casa en que mora Ferrando Lopes cacheyro; et da outra parte da casa que fuy de Juhan Peyteiro, et da viela que uay para os castros, et da rua Publica”

that house with its garden where Domingo Turlon and his wife Elvira Afonso dwell, which is on the Sindín street; as it goes from the house where Fernando López Cacheiro dwells, and on the other side, by the house which was Xoán Peiteiro's, and by the alley which goes towards the hill-forts, and by the public street

“Diste xeito loita o montañés contra o frío. A humidade non penetra no interior gracias ó tellado, e a que podería filtrarse por baixo das paredes evitase faguendo d'arredor, pola parte de fóra, uns regos, chamados vielas, que recollen as augas do tellado e as que corren pola terra e léva-nas lonxe”

In this way highlanders fight the cold. Wetness doesn't come inside thanks to the thatched roof, and what could come under the walls is prevented by working all around, in the outside, some ditches called vielas, which take the waters of the roof and the overflow and run them away
