HINENGGEN I MAN ÅMKO' : I PATGON HA ESPIPIA I SAINA


Ilek-ñiha i man åmko' : Åhe' ti i saina para u espia i patgon, na i patgon para u espia i saina.

The elder does not go looking for the younger; the younger has the obligation to look for the older.  If the nephew or grandson complains that the uncle, aunt or grandparent never visits him, his grievance is without merit in our eyes, because it is his obligation to visit the saina, not the other way around.

El viejo no busca al joven; es el joven que tiene la obligación de buscar al viejo.  Los sobrinos buscan al tío o a la tía; los nietos buscan al abuelo o a la abuela.  Pasan años y los viejos no van a buscar a los jóvenes.
