rabbit proverbs-
1) "a rabbit underground is a rabbit safe and sound"- said by hazel to blackberry at the new warren on watership down.
2)"hoi, hoi, un elbleer hriar, m'saion un hraka vair!"
said by bigwig when a crow attacks pipkin. translated it means -
"hoi, hoi, the stinking thousand, we meet them even as we stop to pass our droppings!"
unfortunatly it dosen't rhyme in english!
3) "my heart has joined the thosand, for my friend stooped running today." said by hazel when everyone thinks bigwig has died from the snare.
bigwigs words
from the book you get the impreession that bigwig likes to say "elbleer" which means stinking.
he mentions it at the begginning, when hazel asks him to cross the stream to look for foxes. he also mentions it when hazel comes up with the plan, saying that he is "too embleer clever by half."
but my favourite part is when bigwig says to woundwort-
"Silflay hraka u elbleer rah!"
