Animals

The wolf howls to his son on the shore of Lake Pühajärv: wow, wow!
The cubs reply: bow-kow, bow-kow, bow-kow!

Ellen Liiv: Where was that child when you were reading like that, on your lap?
Bertha Ilver: No matter, on my lap or anywhere. To hush.

[Voice.]
Anu Vissel: What was the voice?
Endel Kukk: The voice of the hare. A hare calls another hare like this in the spring, when it's mating time or running time, then he makes such a sound. Loud.
AV: Was this voice also made while herding?
AK: Sure, all the voices, of course.

Moose calf, moose bull, he-goat.

Anu Korb: [How] were they lured to you?
Mihkel Prinken: Well, that's right, every animal comes and it happens at a certain time, but the moose is such an animal that you can call him to you most of the time. He comes to you both in winter and summer. The only keeping him away is the wind. It depends on where you are and where the animal is. If he happens to come against the wind, he will not come to you. But he still wants to meet the other. And mostly is possible to see him with the means of the voice.
    Of course, it is during the evening meal, when the animal comes to eat. Then he is eating, and he downright listens, he talks. Is there another nearby? At times he makes calls, and then a bit anxiously listens if there is anybody somewhere. In case you can hear him - aha, there he is shouting! – answer him. They are like chatting
    The other there goes: "Aah!"
    And when you hear that he's "Aa"ing there, you answer here: "Oo!"
    After a little while, he replies again: "Aah!"
    After a while, you repeat again: "Oo!"
    Then he starts coming. Then he comes.
    "Aa!" – "Oo!" - "Aa!" – "Oo!"
    And then some time will pass. Now that he already thinks he can get close to you, he makes one more noise and then listens to where are you now. He can tell right away by your voice how far you can be from him. He immediately measures the land with his ears.
    But if you move there and spread your smell, you can't see him, he won't come. 
    But he has come, I have invited him to very close. If he happens to come well, he comes up to 4-5 meters away, comes to you, if he doesn't glimpse you. You have to hide so that he doesn't see. If he doesn't smell. If he can smell you, he won't come.
    And so are other wild animals. If you sound right, you can always call them. Come, come! He, damned, does not come.

Mart Jallai: Let's make that calling sound!
MP: That sound was like what I was doing right now. That's the call. And the young animal has, when they are separated again, let's say a moose cow and a calf, then --- the calf whistles. It [the cow?] has it's special whistle, deeper than the other one. It sounds about like this:
    [Whistling,]
    About like this, such a whistle.
    But the cow whistles, the cow has a deeper whistle. But they daw themselves together with a whistle. They are sometimes apart for certain periods of time. And the calf is not always with her. Then the calf is already bigger. It's parent is already getting it used to going alone and then again meeting in the forest, because... Sometimes it happens that they are very far apart, if either of them... let's say, for example, runs into dogs. It goes away, and then it is running for a certain amount of time, but it still comes back to this area to search the other. Then they whistle to each other. A calf and a cow always whistle when they want to get together. So they don't make that much louder noise, they still whistle when they want to get together.
But if you, a human, don't know anything about this whistle, you won't notice, so you can go without knowing anything about this whistle. You don't understand.
