    an old house, and he caught her jumping over the wall. He caught her by the back and killed her That evening he went into the old house to see the hare. What would he see, but a [?]locán of blood, and a woman dead by the side of the blood He screamed and ran home, and by the time he reached home his wife was dead. He afterwards said that it was better to leave the milk of the four cows with the old witch than his wife.
