Story & context
A functional research category separating crop transport from harvesting. The overview places agricultural labour among singing contexts; specific transport texts still need collecting before defining a distinct form.
What remains open?
A named local recording, performer, place and date are needed before choosing a representative text.

How to read this archive
We distinguish words, melody, performance and arrangement. A source supports a specific claim; a missing credit does not prove historical anonymity. Open questions remain visible in each entry, ready for new testimony or recordings.
These paths describe circulation and cultural association, not exclusive origins or ownership. The same entry may belong to several regions.
