1. Aah modomokeno banta (his share of food is finish) a coded word for death. This type of statements are made when children are present in the place of announcing an obituary.
2. Aah mingioyodoya (His share of drink in finish). Another word to disguise news of death.
3. domota (suto, ika foo koyele domota, men kadomo) salt is referred to as domota (that which is eaten at night, it is a superstitition).
4. Kootee koo-danila (salt owner yet begging for salt). The curiosity of women, they go asking for salt just to know what food other women are cooking. This happens in local communities.
5. Sin-noh laseeya Nin Moo laseeya Tekilintii. (The high number of footsteps doesn’t signify a high number of people). This is true because footsteps indicate people but does it mean many footsteps are a direct result of large number of people?
