3 At the time the arrival their eldest son was small.
4 Their pine was eaten by the fire, their pines have ends, they became so dry trees.
5 From them they started so. 
6 To make dwelling houses, reindeer houses-which, all make, all make from dry wood.
7 Thereafter/while they began to keep reindeer, the reindeers all began to dry: no antlers, no fur.
8 A town it became, became.
