ዛፍ በሌለበት እንቧጮ አድባር ይሆናል
✦
“Where there is no tree, a weed becomes an 'adbar' (sacred tree/guardian spirit).”
Meaning
This proverb signifies that in the absence of genuine greatness or a superior option, even something insignificant or undesirable (like a weed, 'እንቧጮ') can assume importance, authority, or reverence ('adbar'). It suggests that when better alternatives are unavailable, people are forced to accept or elevate what is present, no matter how humble or imperfect it may be. It speaks to the elevation of the mediocre in the absence of the excellent.
