Spacious 3 bedroom flat (3BHK)available for sale in upscale area near Miramar beach Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe the first one has been mistranslated. Chodd uddta, to buddta One who soars too high, drowns As long as one is soaring but not rubbishing others, or scoffing at them from their higher perch/vantage -- the question of falling, drowning does not come up. Chodd uddta is akin to being uppity, arrogant -- the buddta, to do with the fall. So its if a bird flies on high, and across water, the chances of getting back are slim. On the last one, Goans seem to have had a peculiar concern with filling their stomachs. And many proverbs as well as axioms attest to this attitude. In the proud traditions of Japan, the samurai, even if he had not had a meal would clean his teeth with a toothpick. The point being that as a warrior one did not bend ones head or collapse ones being in hunger. venantius > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:46:39 +0530 > From: "Frederick \"FN\" Noronha" <f...@goa-india.org> > Subject: [Goanet] One who soars too high, drowns > > >From Valmiki Faleiro's <valmi...@gmail.com collection of Konkani > adages, axioms, maxims, idioms and proverbs > > tChodd uddta, to buddta > One who soars too high, drowns > Dant koroilear, pott bhorona > Grinding teeth will not fill your stomach > > [Now, 400 members on the Facebook group.
