sheave

The phrase in Amos 2:13 that is rendered in English translations as «as a cart presses down when it is full of sheaves» is translated into Afar as qari elle qilsa faras-gaari innah: «as heavy as a horse cart with a house on it.» (Pastoral economy has no sheaves, houses are normally torn down and loaded on camels for migration.)
