O nweghị ihe ikuku ga-eme ọdụigu; o bugharịchaa ya ọ hapụ ya.

There is nothing air will do to the tail end of a palm frond; after flying it, it leaves it.

• Postproverbial: O nweghị ihe okelekwu ga-eme akpa rice; ọ takata, ọ taa otu iko.
  Translation: There is nothing a rat will do to a bag of rice; where it eats so much, it will be one cup.
