Saying #22

-Akohee mukira nakohe kombeva-
(Translation; Given a tail, you will also be given the best meat)
Mukira ni kindu kitarivwaa kuzinyamanya zinyingi. Musembe gwi rigondi igwo gunyanywaa. Zinyama zindi ziveye nu mukira mutambi igasi yagwo neveye kukunga zinji kumbiri nukuvisa vuniero. Ne kerombe cha vandu vanyingi vanyega.
Vumaririzu vwi kindu ivwo vurangwaa mukira. Kurangwa mukira mukika chosi nokovora si wari muguru noho musiza. Nukuva mudedekere, muyingu, mugoyanu, vujira kivuni. Navuzwa sunyara kuva muhaga muvurikindu. L'lara umaa wenyora ogeherwaa ma chokoranji kizia shutenyanji.
Rugano yiru rukubirwaa vandu vaveye nerisuvira ndi, mugamba gurava murahi kuvita karunu. Chonyoye kekekeke, usandizi. Nusuviril'lamu, mugamba waza onyore kenenene. Mundu genyaa asandizi vuri rwosi, rwaveye nacho kandi rwa avura, nanyoo kidi kandi nanyoo kenene.
Noheveywi kidi nuvurahi kuzizagirira muzinguru ziokokora miyinzi kivara. Tava wukwisuha nuwigana goo, ohoveywi kidi. Nindio vandu mavagotizaa. Vurahi vwekorekaa mwoyo govee nerisuvira rirahi. Na kijira vogeheru sivurifwa mukivara, nuvurahi komenya nerisandiza vuri ridiku.
