ተከብት እንስት ተሀብት ርስት

✦

“A woman is like livestock, an inheritance is like wealth.”

Meaning

This proverb draws a parallel between a woman and livestock, and between an inheritance and wealth. It reflects a traditional perspective where a woman is considered a valuable asset to the household, much like livestock, contributing labor, progeny, and prosperity. Similarly, an inheritance (especially land) is viewed as a fundamental and lasting form of wealth that ensures the family's stability and future across generations.
