Proverbs: |
|
> Destroying his money. Marriage within the clan, generally
considered incestuous, limits the value of the
food-money exchange, since the materials
simply change hands within the same clan
group. A man so married is criticized as
having destroyed his source of wealth. |

> With persistence the village of Ngersuul was maintained When the men's clubs of Koror could not proceed as far as Melekeiok, a major village to the north that stood in political balance with Koror, the clubs would often stop over at Ngersuul and sack the small village. Yet the people of Ngersuul, over and over defeated, clung to their village and persisted through history. (Sometimes the village of Angaur is used, with a similar meaning, in place of Ngersuul.) The saying may be applied to the harried individual who is about to give up a task because of repeated failure. |
