Proverbs:
> A full basket was dropped in Ngeremeduu bay.
From the folk tale about Obak era Kedesau on his way to a feast being given in honor of his wife by her adoptive father. While crossing Ngeremeduu Bay between Ngatpang and Ngeremlengui, Obak dropped a basket of Palauan money overboard. Despite this terrible loss, he still had the courage and sufficient cash to carry off his visit in high style. The saying may be used to reassure someone, following a loss, reminding them that Obak era Kedesau recovered from an even greater loss.
More Examples:
> Put the breadfruit in the pot.
> When it starts boiling, let it boil for about 15 more minutes.
> Peel the skin off the breadfruit
> I feel like eating fish and breadfruit.
> Cook the breadfruit for about 45 minutes.
