Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter VI. LEGENDS, part 8, sentence 129
While gird does not seem to be the right word in this context, it's unclear what the author really intended--possibly gibe?--so it is left as printed.
Who acts: gird · What happens: not seem, be, intend, gibe, leave, print · To what, where: right word, context, author
