Note:

22/7 i(0185 A.O). has a steel plough, {but it} ploughs with 2 teams of oxen, so doesn't use it.
Harvest - Sleymanli and beyond do not use the scythe. Women do not normally; saw i(5287 Mnnever Bingl) scything, but i(0232 Mehmet Sahiner)'s wife does not
know how. Scythe sharpened by hammering an iron fork. {diagram - not very clear}

{c: scythe spread slowly - village by village apparently. Very interesting point}
