secrets

Alasaila ná i quetie oholima palaresse coronincarwa.

Oif a feld mit berglech derzejlt men nit kain Ssojdess.(Proverb in Yidish from "Jiddish Das Abenteuer einer Sprache" by Salcia Landmann"

One does not tell secrets on a field with little mounds.

We didn't have any proverbs for a long time - I couldn't resist that one.

Atwe:

It's a nice one.
Did you intend it to mean "Telling [something]in confidence on a field having little mounds is unwise."?

oreramar:

That is indeed the sense that is intended, provided _oholima_ can be used as an adjective in this sense. PE17 is not very explicit.
