Ṣàwárí

Thirty-six Yorùbá proverbs on sleep, waking, dreaming and bodily rest, presented with the original, a literal gloss, a named translation, and the situation each is spoken in.

Eight Yorùbá proverbs built on ojúlé (doorway), pàlà and àlà (boundary line), and a named city boundary, showing threshold and border as sites of jurisdiction, dignity, and fair division rather than as mere architectural features.
