Intended meaning
Said of a dog that does not bark — placid, harmless, no trouble to anyone.
- O gübbe, gübbe aylana kelebiz, Bere esegiz, berigiz, Bermey esegiz, ketebiz. Çardaq tolu tuzuğuz, Erge barlıq qızığız, Qatın allıq jaşığız, Çelek jarım sütügüz, «Hap» demegen itigiz.O gübbe, gübbe, round we come; if you will give, give, and if you will not, we go. May your loft be full of salt, your daughter ready to marry, your son ready to take a wife, your pail half full of milk, and your dog one that never barks.
