Says who?...Popular Kelabit Sayings<br />
<br />
"Ian Uto-Uto" - Learnt linoleum printing from Mr William Chen in Marudi and I had small print of this Kelabit saying on my T shirt. Didn't win me any more badminton matches but thought it was cool (not?)<br />
<br />
"Belaban lubpa meteluh Keh." - Best impact by Tama' Imat, when scolding in jest.<br />
<br />
"Iih naam Keraja', iah naam Kuman" - Elisha Paul quote from his ol man.<br />
<br />
"Pango laih Inah" - A childhood friend late John Lutu and then became an everyday vocab like kids using the word "wicked"<br />
<br />
I'm sure you guys can think of some better ones.<br />

Mudang madto tah Agan Kanah, "Naam nuk adtan, Naam nuk Tu'an"<br />
<br />
It just occurred to me. Adtan is, reference to lati' but in today's language it probably applies to our endeavours: business, work, music (if you are like Temabu Raymond), ministry (if you are Gembala). Nuk Tu'en - same concept translated to actual tasks: nibu, designing/engineering, drafting contract, writing song, preparing a sermon etc. Rurum probably need to move from adtan to tuan.<br />

"Di'e' Riruh, Daat Laya" - Liben?<br />
<br />
"Payuh" - Gabriel Jau Liran, Harry Morley?<br />
<br />
"Kapah tiko kinah2 leh" - Tatama' Kata Balang said to Sina' uih Midang, when she nah ngaradung iah lam kerabang with when she first learn to ride a bicycle.<br />

That's a funny one. Pumur I'd say?<br />

Thread is prompting so much memories. If can Lun teluh, you need to give some context.<br />
<br />
u'uuuuuk = Kelabit Jungle call. Aussie version cooee.<br />
<br />
Ja' = Inlaw? But now used as buddy, mate. As is term 'kanid' nowadays. Excuse if not good with the protocol<br />

Nothing wrong with that logic. That would be something Tama' Abel would say.<br />

Mutang, Like this very much. Very controversial subject here in oz, spanking kids. Shows a level of thinking that parents have to go to get healthy balance between love and discipline. Dadan naam petulu ngan Akan Tauh they'all. Kirim tabi ngan muyuh nange.<br />

I think it is everywhere...even here.<br />
Ngimat (terpegang/tersentuh) pun taut. Apa lagi caning! The Yankees are the worst I guess... in the name of democracy, freedom and love, yang idak patut being sued pun ada for the money.<br />
<br />
Like I said, we'll be in Pa Mada for the naming ceremony and I'll convey your regards. Would be nice ti have you around too at that time.<br />
