103 Idrus Hakimy Dt. Rajo Penghulu, Basic Knowledge of
Minangkabau Natural Customs, (Bandung: Rosda Karya Youth, 1994), p. 4,
which means: As little as a chicken, as painful as pleasure, as humiliating as
shame, what is eaten is the same, what is not sought, going to the village is the
same as going down, going to the hill is the same as climbing, the male is as
shy, the female is the same.
104 Idrus Hakimy, Mustika Series, p. 30, which means: Short of
review, easy to use, leans on sticks, weakly supported by riots and persuaded.
