/qozlap, qozusumu qallɯqdɯ/

Literal translation

having lambed, will its lamb be left?

Said of something from which no gain or advantage is to be expected.

Endi, kerti söz keri ketgença bolub, tilimi uçunda aylana turğanlay, tüzelib başlayalmay turama ansı, qozlap, qozusu qallıqdı dep da saqlamayma.Now, as if the true word had slipped away and were circling at the tip of my tongue, I simply cannot get it straight — and I am not sitting around expecting any good to come of it either.
