    Herbs
    The names of the weeds the people find in their lands are the Capógs, Chicken, Weeds, Farabán, and Glasair Léana.
    The Farabán grows in good soil. It smothers the crops. The Glasair Léana grows in bad and wet land. It is poision for young geese. The Chicken Weeds grows especially in potatoes and cabbage.
    People pick moss of stones and trees and colour wool and clothes with them. It colours them brown. The tops of the heath in Summer - time colours a material yellow. The roots of Ferns cure a burn.
