When the water was about to appear, there emerged some mud and stones glued together. And they (the mud and stones) could not be removed until we brought a rock drill. Then, with great effort—because they stuck together so closely—, the mud and stones came out. Then, after they came out, water appeared’ (Bulakh 2024:172)
