jalanıŋa kirgen jalan jawuŋ
/dʒalanɯŋa kirɡen dʒalan dʒawuŋ/
Literal translation
your naked enemy who has come in under your nakedness
Intended meaning
One's husband or wife — the person closest to you in intimacy, and for that reason the one best placed to harm you.
- «Jalanıŋa kirgen jalan jawuŋa tashaŋı bildirseŋ, artda kesiŋi qoruwlarğa qıyın bolur», – degendile köp jaşağan qartla."If you reveal your secret to the naked enemy who has come in under your nakedness, it will be hard to defend yourself afterwards," said the long-lived elders.
