Wablu'shka mayu'ta yelo', oshi'ciN kta se'ce lo'. Lit.: "Worms are eating me, so the weather is going to be bad". (Said when someone has a headache or pain in his bones.) This is what I would define as a proverb ... a condition and a result.....most of us would probably consider English proverbs as cliches ...a stitch in time saves nine....I guess fits Alan
