Proverbs:
> You're getting involved with someone too closely related.

> You're like a floating log without a resting place.
You have no fixed abode.
> Like the uul [Cettria cantans?] with its house open, calling for rain.
The uul may be heard to call out usually just before it rains; some say that it is calling for rain. This seems foolish, since the bird constructs its house with an opening at the top that will let rain in. A person who makes a decision or starts some action without adequate preparation is likened to the uul.
More Examples:
> My friend has a nice house.
> The empty peanut butter jars can be washed and used as drinking glasses.
> I made rain gutters for my house. I ran it into a tank.
> Which restaurant did you go to?
> There will be a demolition of the old house two days from now.
