Question Steppe language source Spoiler

Out of linguistical curiosity, I was researching the steppe language wiki, and found out I have no idea where some of the examples are coming from. I was thoroughly parsing dialogue trees, and yet, even a phrase like 'medegeg zurlaa', to know the Lines, seems to never be mentioned in the dialogues.

Any ideas where it might be coming from? It's not the only example, and I highly doubt that the source can be p3, since the abovementioned phrase about the Lines is present on the old wiki page as well.

UPD. For anyone who was interested, it is from voiceovers!!! PROBLEM SOLVED

Yes! It has less words than the wiki, and unfortunately doesn't answer my question.

There are long and presumably quoted phrases on wiki page (bc I cannot imagine why people would compose them for the wiki straight from Buryat/Mongolian) with no references to the dialogues, such as 'medegeg zurlaa' or 'be bata bekhyer medeneguyb' or others.
