Literal translation
for one's foot to drop into the stirrup
Intended meaning
For someone's affairs to come together and go well after a difficult stretch.
- Ne eteyik, bir abınŋan miŋ sürünedi, bizni kibik bir jaqsızlanı ayaqları bir taya tebirese, özeŋige bir tüşgünçü, ayaq orun tapmay baradıla.What can we do — one who stumbles once stumbles a thousand times; when the feet of the defenceless like us once begin to slip, they go on finding no foothold until they get back into the stirrup.
