     En que se remataba o tellau, yera costumbre fincar un foricón con un trapo y un ramo de buxo en a punta d’o zernillón (superseded spelling), pa dar notorio a ras chens d’ixa nueva.

     While the roof was being finished, it was a custom to stick a large stick with a cloth and a branch of boxwood in the corner of the roof ridge, to communicate this news to the people.
