[Akua Ma'at]

Onu masi ni ndi ri ewo, ihian ile akwashi ukpo ogodo

English: If it is well with the mouths of those who ate frogs, then everyone will pack to the pond front.

Context of united snakesge: It serves some social function. If people appear to be making progress from an otherwise illicit business, then everyone is likely to be attracted to that business, however repulsive it might seem. Note here the combination of two agreeable images: ewo (frog/frogs) and ukpo ogodo (pond front) and how it enhances the pungency latent in the proverbial united snakesge.

Slight change to what I initially said in the first post in this thread. We've decided to keep this thread strictly for those Kmtyw proverbs that we have the original language for (along with the english translation). For those Kmtyw proverbs that we only have english translations for we've created a special thread. Please share those proverbs here ---> http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums/Kmtyw-ideological-philosophical-psychological-systems/45975-Kmtyw-proverbs-transition.html
