“ കോലെൽ വെള്ളക്കാകുത്തിയപൊലെ”
English Translation:
Like impaling a heavy unripe gourd upon a slender stick. (A top-heavy, precarious contraption bound to snap and collapse.)

“ ശീലിച്ചതെ പാലിക്കൂ”
English Translation:
One upholds only that which has been ingrained as a habit. (Early conditioning and lived practice dictate conduct; theoretical ideals cannot substitute for ingrained habit.)

“ പറുങ്കിക്കുനന്നു, ലന്തെക്കു നഞ്ചു”
English Translation:
Nectar to the Portuguese, but lethal poison to the Dutch. (One man’s meat is another man’s poison; what benefits one party brings ruin to their rival.)
