I have just added my 79th proverb to the database at http://silcmb.org/. There is a better link at the bottom of this blog page. You can search for a topic such as "competition" and come up with a proverb that addresses the futility of competing with someone out of your class. The comparison is made to the water chevrotain, a very interesting water mammal here in Cameroon that is believed by the Nzime to swim exceptionally well. That's only one of many proverbs. To read more on this animal, go to http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Hyemoschus_aquaticus.html
