Jerry, here are some of the Ummanim's. If I am not mistaken
ummanem means riddle or it can also be mystery. These
are taken from the song 'Succorin' by Menino De Bandar.
1. Bailui tich asta, baile porim dadlo dista........Gaindoll
2. Kombio bath (paddy) khata, bathant tantiam ghalta pun tea
tantiam assa don koracho boll (yolk).......???
3. Kanvlo gunter korta, kogull tantiam ghalta,
uprant kanvlo pille kaddta....????
4. Dolleantlim dukham pita, tachench pil tem rochta.... Mor (peacock)
5. Ratcho nettan daumta, soglem disti podta......Mandoll
6. Suknim chonch marta, jivak tondant dorta, uprant aplem pott bhorta.
7. Ratcho konnui bhonvta, tedna gugum (owl) rodta.
8. Charni (squirrel) forsan rodta, xempdi (tail) tachi allta...
oso ho sounsar cholta.
