While seeking out Greek dialects, KZread unexpectedly introduced me to stories in Kalmyk. Although the reason behind this remains unclear to me, I genuinely appreciate it as it has brought something to my awareness that I might not have found otherwise. Furthermore, I want to convey my deep admiration for your works centred around the Kalmyk language and folklore. Your contributions are undeniably illuminating, and I am immensely thankful for stumbling upon them in this particular way. It's truly an exploration for me, unveiling a captivating new realm.
