[Lexicog] Figurative expressions for "courage" in different language

[Sharyn Thomson]

In Buamu, the idiom for courage is to "harden your centre".  If you are
fearful or timid, then your "centre is not strong".

Fritz, the N. Embera idiom for courage is "be strong-hearted". That
also includes the idea of audacity or defiance. Risking your life is
literally "not being aware you'll be killed".
