Kemrese proverb, was Re: Brezhoneg Proverbs

Andrew thus skibbered the mallaby, dronning the cando:

>Yes, I thought the same thing myself when I read it.  Now that would
>be... Rhuifar a bunent.
The southern variety would be "Remar li muir". A curious
extended form is used when someone makes like they're
dying, but really aren't: "Poneor la corraches li muir
mays y rhemi 'wers lis grocciv". Which is, _the boat's
put to the West, but the oars lie on the beach_.

Others may want to take a stab at rendering these proverbs
into their various languages. The proverb given above
roughly means "to be at Death's door". Literally, it is
"row into the West", i.e., to the Land of the Young or
the Blessed Isles. The second might mean "Oh, he's just
faking."

Padraic.
