“ പല്ലെപ്പഴുത്താൽ മെല്ലെചവക്കണം”
English Translation:
When the tooth is inflamed with an abscess, chew with gentle care. (Adapt to your vulnerabilities; when weakened or afflicted, exercise caution and tread softly.)

“ ഉണങ്ങിയതു കൊണ്ടെണ്ണം കുറയുമൊ”
English Translation:
Does the count decrease just because it has dried up? (Shrinkage or physical alteration does not diminish the original tally or cancel an existing obligation.)

“ പഴഞ്ചൊല്ലിൽ പതിരുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ (പശുവിൻപാലും കൈക്കും) പഴഞ്ചോറ്റിൽ കൈവേകും”
English Translation:
If there is any husk of falsehood in an old proverb, your hand will be scalded by cold leftover rice (and cow’s milk will taste bitter). (Traditional folk wisdom is proven and infallible; questioning it is as absurd as expecting cold rice to burn your skin.)
