Well, I let this one go by back in November (too
busy), but I saved it.

Here are a few Carraxan idioms:

buruzi djul pridji - yesterday's cabbage - old news

juni nochi djul cocu - a coconut - a big proble, a
real headache

djul Noeu, ad ul Moseu, ad al ecueja djul Cristu -
from Noah, to Moses, to the Church of Christ -- from
time emmemorial, the way things have always been done

ligari cun uls manus - to tie with the hands - to
shake on it

sini xicuu pomu juna patata - without money as a
potato - broke as the Ten Commandments, flat busted,
bankrupt

gata ad ul huinu - until at the end - to the nth
degree

There are more, but there's a sampling.

Adam

Jin xividjilud djal suñu ed falud ul Jozevu pomu instanchid ul andjelu djul
Dominu sivi, ed idavi achibid jun al su sposa. Ed nun aved cuñuxud ad sivi
ancha nadud jan ad ul sua huiju primodjindu ed cuamad il su numi ul Jezu.
