<strong>The</strong> mother-in-law (or a designated older lady) would sing the bride’s<br />
praises in the ‘Niseghasch’we’ or ‘Niseyepch’ songs. <strong>The</strong> following song<br />
provides a good example of the genre. It is the Shapsugh<br />
‘Niseghasch’we’ song ‘<strong>The</strong> Aschay family…’ (V. H. Bereghwn and Z.<br />
P’. Qardenghwsch’, 1980, pp 147-9): 14<br />
