Will there be a chance to see English translations of these? Two English
versions of Tamil proverbs: He who has killed a hundred men, is fit to be a
Doctor; The tall palm tree gives no shade.

That's true. I too appreciated very much Fr Ivo's postings of Konkani
sayings, but feel that adding English translations would add value.

Valmiki Faleiro:
Addveak tiddvem, addveak kaddvem
A crook encountered a crook-and-half

Thanks for the reminder Eddie! Actually, on visiting the site, I just
realised that I had done a review of it for the Deccan Herald, way
back in 1997. Your grey cells are more powerful than mine, or maybe
your Google search techniques are simply far superior :-) FN
