Qalinkaa wax suureeya,
Kugu sima halkaad doonto,
Saaxiib kal furan weeye,
Sunto fara ku hayntiisa,
Weligaa ha sii deynin.

"Soomaali been ma maahmaahdo-Somalis do not lie in proverbs" reflects some results of Dr. Georgi Kapchits' almost forty year study of Somali proverbial stock. Introduction familiarizes the reader with the modern theory of premiology, describes some literary features of Somali proverbs and sayings, offers their classification and paves the way to the paremiological minimum of the Somali language.
The bulk of the book consists of two parts. The first presents 249 most popular Somali proverbs and proverbial phrases obtained from a special experiment. Each text is cited in Somali, with an English translation and where necessary an explanatory comment. The second part provides the reader with several thousand Somali proverbs, the majority of which have been received from oral sources. They are cited in Somali and arranged according to their syntactic structure. |
